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.
Joseph Smith’s parents taught their children how to help each other, pray, and read scriptures. Use the “Finger Puppets” and role play the family helping on the farm. Add farm animals to make it more interactive.
Teach about saying meaningful prayers. Challenge everyone to earn 20 pennies throughout the week. Each time they say a prayer they write on the back what prayer it was (ex. Monday Morning) and then place the penny in the piggy bank.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Begin by reading Joseph Smith History 1:14-26. Use the “First Vision Story Sticks” to review what you just learned about. Then use the “First Vision Name Tags” to act out the story. You could consider dressing up as each character to make acting out more fun.
Take time to ponderize the scripture that started it all, James 1:5 . Use “A
Passage to Ponderize” to help children memorize it. Let children read it, write it, and then say it. Review the scripture each night to help children memorize the verse.
The extra premium materials will be available in your account during the current month. Beginning the first day of the month through the last day of the month.

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
