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.
Teach your children that they can choose to be baptized when they turn eight years old. Help them count to eight on their fingers or count 8 birthday candles. Count how many more birthdays they will have before they turn eight. Read together D&C 68:27. Decorate the “birthday cake” with markers, fingerpaints, stickers, etc. and glue 8 candles on the cake. Sing the song “I Can’t Wait Until I’m Eight.”
Read Doctrine and Covenants 68:25-28. With your family talk about the importance of baptism. With younger children you can practice with them being dunked in the water. Then color the “I Can Be Baptized Coloring Page.”
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Take a walk outside and listen to all the sounds you hear. When you go back inside let everyone share what they heard. Try not to repeat any sound. Read D&C 68:3-4. Discuss how we can use our ears to listen to the words of the prophet. Show the “Prophet and Apostles Print” Think of times as a family when we hear the prophets and apostles speak. Finish by creating a “Big Ear Headband” for each child.
Watch the video titled “Chapter 23:The Doctrine and Covenants (August-November 1831).” Discuss how the Doctrine and Covenants was first called The Book of Commandments. Later it became the Doctrine and Covenants. It contains revelations from God. Read Doctrine and Covenants 67:4, 9.
The Surprise Activity will pair well with the video. Use “The Doctrine and Covenants Teaches Us Page” to review what we learn from the Doctrine and Covenants.
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, June 1st-30th.

Learning is a lifelong journey. While we tend to think of our years in school as the only time in life when we need to gain an education, we know through Doctrine and Covenants 88 that the Lord instructs His faithful to create places of learning in their own homes (D&C 88:119). How do we do that?
Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way we had planned: dinner gets burnt, the car won’t start, or you unexpectedly get laid off from your job. You’ve been promised blessings for keeping the commandments. It might be tempting to wonder where those blessings are when ill fortune strikes.
What is “godliness?” Doctrine and Covenants Section 84 uses the word to describe the way that God prepares us to return to live with Him one day. We do this by inviting our children to be baptized and prepare for the temple. Through participating in priesthood ordinances, we increase our access to the priesthood and experience “the power of godliness” as we come to see God’s presence in our lives every day (Doctrine and Covenants 84:20).
