Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 32 | July 29 - August 4

“When we are on the Lord’s errand, we are entitled to the Lord’s help” President Monson promised. (Ensign 2008) In the New Testament we learn that the road will not be smooth, easy, and full of endless success. Evidence of this truth is everywhere is our bible study lately, especially this week as we read more about the apostle Paul. It’s got me thinking, if Paul can suffer all of these trials in an effort to share the gospel how can I give a little more or try more diligently to share the gospel in my life?

This week we have two really fun engaging games to help teach some main principles in the lesson. Be sure to read on your summary sheet exactly how to use these in your home. The summary sheet is a lesson plan that in included each week in your lesson with a membership.

The traffic signs are a great way to share personal experiences. Hang them around your home, use 3×5 cards, and answer the questions below the signs. Making real world connections is such a huge part of our children really learning how the gospel can bless their life!

The second game is called Treat in a Cup! Your kids are going to be so excited about this! It’s all about missionary work, again in our daily lives. We are all about making things applicable.

You will need individually wrapped treats and cups for this game. I used clear cups but you could definitely use anything you have on hand. It may be more fun to use colored cups that they can’t see into. 

The story of the shipwreck in Acts 27 can be told as your children piece together this “wrecked ship” puzzle. Then doing our coloring page this week that simply states “Fear Not” can give our kids a great message for life.

You can laminate your puzzle, treat in cup game rounds, and anything else you’d like in your materials so they last longer. I know we love to reuse our lessons when we feel the need arises in our home.

Did you know that we send dozens of downloads each week? YUP! This is so you can pick and choose what materials you’d like to use in your home. You can do one activity every night or have enough for an hour long lesson once a week (plus some) or if you teach primary there is something for every age. We get so many messages from parents about what a good fit our materials are and how they really do help the children remember the lessons and apply them to their own lives. There is so much value here. Just a few more pictures below of what comes this week. 

A song flip chart for the beautiful song I Will Be What I Believe. 

A testimony printable for kiddos to fill out. They can write or draw what they know to be true.

This happy little print comes in color and black and white. What a great reminder to display in your home for this week or forever!

Need more help and support? See Instagram for more details! I go live every Tuesday and save it to IGTV where you can watch a video of me talking all about our lesson. Plus, I give teaching tips to help you get your kids involved in the best ways!

Last week we sent out these cute scripture charts. If you missed them  they are in your downloads if you have a membership or they are available in our shop for purchase if you don’t have a membership. 

Enjoy your week together! Summer is fading fast so we hope you are getting in lots of extra quality time in the sun.

Love,

Angie

“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).
