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.

Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, but he found that once they were in the wilderness, it wasn’t so easy to take Egypt out of the Israelites. Even with the many miracles and signs the people had witnessed, they still wanted to return to a life of slavery with every hardship they encountered. If the Israelites were to be the Lord’s chosen people, this could not be.
How did Moses prepare the Israelites to make covenants with the Lord? We read in Exodus 25 that God gave commandments to His people to help them be ready for greater covenant blessings when He would “dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). Even though the Israelites struggled to keep these commandments, they were eventually blessed as they remained true to the Lord. We will also receive all promised blessings as we live our lives in faithfulness.
Following the 10 Plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, you would think that the Israelites were in a powerful place spiritually. They had seen incredible miracles and had sure witnesses that the Lord was with them. Yet, upon facing a shortage of food and water, the people were willing to abandon everything God had done for them and return to slavery: “Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt… when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness” (Exodus 16:3).
