Come and Partake of the Fruit

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 3 | January 13 - January 19

The Book of Mormon is full of symbols. This week as you read 1 Nephi 8-10 stop and talk about the symbols that are mentioned. You can use the tree of life symbol page in your materials as a visual resource. If reading all three chapters is not a good option for your family you can use the audio on the Gospel Library app or summarize the story in your own words. The picture in the manual may also help with telling the story.

Use the interactive tree of life scene and people to help the children apply what they’ve learned and visualize themselves holding to the rod of iron.

Another fun idea for this lesson is to make a simple obstacle course and blindfold one person, everyone can take a turn being blindfolded. Secretly choose one person to represent the still small voice. Their job is to talk quietly but walk beside the blindfolded person telling them what steps to take (ex. step to your right then move forward) to help them make it safely to the end of the obstacle course. The one who is blindfolded won’t know who’s voice is assigned to be the Holy Ghost. All other family members can represent the great and spacious building and try to distract or lead the course goer astray. Relate this to the tree of life story.

One of the bonus activities this week is to make fruit necklaces. Use the pear print out in your materials. You can add beads, dry pasta noodles, or fruit loops to your necklaces. Talk about the fruit of the tree of life.

Sing the song “The Iron Rod” as a family. A song chart has been provided to help you learn the song.

In your materials is an instruction page to make your own iron rod. Each member can hold to the rod as you sing the song. Talk about ways you can hold to the rod every day.

See the summary page for more bonus ideas to do with your family through out the week.

“Our Eyes Are upon Thee”

After many years of living separately, King Hezekiah of Judah invited the people of the Kingdom of Israel to come down to Jerusalem and worship the Lord during the Passover. Many who came to the temple did not remember all the cleansing ordinances and were not fully prepared to participate. Rather than scorn them, Hezekiah made sure that no one who attended Passover was left out: “The good Lord pardon every one that prepareth his heart to seek God” (2 Chronicles 30:18-19). Because of this, “there was great joy” during the Passover in Jerusalem as the people grew closer together in worship (2 Chronicles 30:26).

“He Trusted in the Lord God of Israel”

Josiah was a righteous king of Judah. He desired to bring the people back into their covenant relationship with the Lord, yet there was no way to remember the Law of Moses: the people had forgotten it. However, when ancient scripture texts were found in the temple, Josiah was able to remind his people of the law and blessings of their covenant. The people began to feel God’s presence again as worship of the Savior resumed “with all their heart and all their soul” (2 Kings 23:3).

“There Is a Prophet in Israel”

Miracles are a must-have in parenting. From remembering to take a few breaths when we discover marker all over the couch, to pleading for the health of our little ones when they’re sick, we need miracles every day. The stories of Elisha the Prophet remind us that the Lord is aware of the parent and their child at all times.
