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.
Sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” with your child. Teach that Jesus made the sun, moon, stars, and earth. When we look at the sun, moon, and stars we can remember that Jesus made them for us. Create the sun, moon and stars mosaic by ripping little pieces of construction paper and gluing them on the pictures. End with singing “Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam” while holding up the picture of the sun.
Let each person make the “I Can Bear Record Foldable Book.” As a family read through the book and discuss each page. Then pass around a bowl of gummy bears and let each person “How can we bear record?” Give each person some gummy bears with the treat tag to help remind them to bear witness throughout the week.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Teach about the Plan of Salvation. Use the “Plan of Salvation Art” in your materials to help you teach. There are many ways to use it. Some examples include, cutting it apart and hold up each piece as you talk about it. Make multiple copies, cut them apart and have a race to see who can put it in the correct order first. Or use it as a board game and move pieces through each step talking about each one. Then use the “Degrees of Glory Sort” activity. Read each scripture and place it in the picture that represents that kingdom.
Consider watching a clip from the movie “Newsies” of the boys trying to sell their papers. Read D&C 76:40-42. Teach that the gospel is “good news!” Take time to complete the writing on the “Good News Newspaper.” Ask each family member “What would you tell people about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?” Let each person share their good news.
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, June 1st-30th.

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.
