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.

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.
