We have multiple Come Follow Me subscriptions and multiple activities in each subscription to help you find what works best for your family. Our goal is to help families come closer to Christ and we’ve worked really hard on providing more options to help achieve our goal.
Teach about Adam and Eve by using the puppets. Explain that Adam and Eve lived in the garden of Eden and took care of it. It was full of beautiful flowers and animals. Continue to explain and reenact the story of Adam and Eve including God commanding them not to partake of the fruit of good and evil, Satan tempting them, and Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the garden and starting a family. Explain that this made it possible for us to come to earth and make choices to follow God’s plan. Read Moses 5:9 and explain that because of Christ we can live with God again.
Read Genesis 4:1-17. Complete the coloring page as you discuss the story of Cain of Abel. Be sure to talk about how we can overcome anger and jealousy.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!

The story of David versus Goliath teaches many important principles, with one being that if we try our best and have real faith in God, He will help us make the most of our efforts. Though an army was present and he was offered the king’s armor, David brought his sling and his belief that the Lord would prevail through him. It was enough: “the Lord saveth not with sword and spear” (1 Samuel 17:47) but with trust and hope.
Have you ever been jealous of your neighbor? The Israelites sure were. They wanted a king to rule over them as other nations had, believing that life would be better and more secure. However, when Israel’s prophet prayed about having a king as a leader, the Lord responded that the people’s jealous desire was actually a rejection of Him as their true King: “they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them” (1 Samuel 8:7). Their need for what others’ possessed had decreased their faith in Him.
The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
