Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 27 | July 1-7 | Alma 17-22

Too often we doubt our own role in the Lord’s vineyard, telling ourselves our efforts to reach out to others won’t make a difference, or we’ll just be rejected. Many Nephites told Ammon that his brothers would have no success as missionaries to the Lamanites, but Ammon chose to have faith and go forth serving those he came across. Through his humble service to King Lamoni, the Lord softened the hearts of thousands.

This week’s lessons are a little different to help tell the story of Ammon to your children. From making maps of missionary adventures to using storytelling puppets, each day of the week has a different activity that will teach your kids about the joy of sharing the gospel.

Access inspiring lessons that teach straight from the scriptures and include everything you need to make Come, Follow Me a joy for your kids.

THIS WEEK’S COME FOLLOW ME HIGHLIGHTS​

Elementary Bundle Lessons & Activities​

The elementary bundle is a treasure trove for kids aged 4-11, featuring activities that instill key principles. Let’s explore three highlights:

Scripture Puppets!

Scripture Study

Before you start your reading today, have each child color and make the Ammon and King Lamoni Puppets. You can choose to do one set for your family and take turns or make a set for each individual. Read Alma 18, using the verses key at the bottom of the instruction page. Let your children hold up their stick puppet when either Ammon or King Lamoni are talking.

Story Map

Hands-On Activity

Begin by showing your children several different maps. Explain that using a map when we read can help us better understand the story. Give each child a Map to Middoni. To help them follow along with the story, have them draw or write the things that happen along the way to Middoni. Let each child share what they drew at the end.

Children of God

Scripture Study

Start by singing “I Am a Child of God.” Discuss how this is often the first truth of the gospel a child learns. Explain that in today’s chapter, Aaron teaches basic truths of the gospel to King Lamoni’s Father. Read Alma 22 together. When you are finished, color the “Aaron Teaches the King” coloring page.

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams. The toddler bundle Includes a full lesson plan with THREE activities that align with scripture written by an early childhood educator. These include a coloring page, another printable activity, and a movement activity that helps young children understand the scriptures. Here are a couple of highlights from this week’s lesson.

Missionary Playdough

Go & Do Activity

Prepare by identifying a missionary you know and gather stories, pictures, and videos about his/her mission. Learn a few details about the culture where they serve, such as their food and clothing. Summarize Aaron’s experience preaching among the Amalekites from Alma 21:17, and explain how missionaries today are doing similar work. Using the playdough and “Missionary Playdough Mat activity” from the lesson, share stories of missionaries and let your child create playdough pieces that represent the places and cultures where these missionaries serve. Emphasize that you don’t need to be on a mission to share Jesus’ teachings and encourage them to think of someone they can serve or reach out to this week. End with a family prayer and act on the prompting to help someone.

The toddler bundle includes a lesson plan and three activities every week. Grab the toddler bundle in our subscription.

“I Will Order All Things for Your Good”

Have you ever had a powerful spiritual experience and felt the joy of God’s love, only to feel down again when normal life resumes? Or an hour where your children were seemingly perfect and kind to one another, but the rest of the day was awful? This might have been how the early saints felt by the end of the year following the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. Life itself didn’t get easier with the temple’s completion. Financial troubles and increased persecution made enduring to the end difficult for many saints. Yet those who persevered were blessed not only with strength but also with direction on how they could be a blessing to God’s children even amidst their own trials. The Lord’s comforting words to them are extended to us today as we also can help others feel loved during our own struggles: “Let thy heart be of good cheer before my face… for I, the Lord, have a great work for thee to do” (D&C 112:4,6).

“It Is Thy House, a Place of Thy Holiness”

March 27, 1836, was a special date both on earth and in heaven. For the first time since 70 AD, a temple of God was available for men and women to worship in. Many saints who were present for the dedication saw angels celebrating the return of temple blessings to the world. The Lord Jesus Christ shared His own joy of the temple’s completion in Doctrine and Covenants 110:6-7, when he said, “let the hearts of all my people rejoice, who have, with their might, built this house to my name. For behold, I have accepted this house…”.

“The Order of the Son of God”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is organized according to the Lord’s instructions, as detailed in this week’s reading in the Doctrine and Covenants. One of the ways we can apply the Lord’s guidance in these sections to our families is to establish councils within our homes. We should, with our children, “sit in council with them, and to teach them their duty, edifying one another” (D&C 107:85).
