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.

Though we have reached the end of the Doctrine and Covenants, the work of the Restoration is still ongoing: “We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God” (Articles of Faith 1:9). Prophets still reveal the will of God. The Church is still growing to fill the Earth.
“What happens after we die?” This is a question commonly asked by all of God’s children. Because of continuing revelation through living prophets, we know! Doctrine and Covenants Sections 137 and 138 reveal that our loved ones who have died go to a place of rest if they were faithful in their testimony of Christ, where they are then prepared to teach the gospel in the spirit world. Those who died who were not faithful are given the opportunity to learn about Jesus Christ and accept ordinances performed by the living: “and thus was the gospel preached to the dead” (D&C 138:30).
Doctrine and Covenants Section 135 could be viewed as the conclusion of the entire Doctrine and Covenants scriptures, were it not for additional revelation given to the saints. This section witnesses the divinity of the Prophet Joseph’s calling. It declares Joseph’s work to be of God and that it will never fail. It also testifies that those who read the Doctrine and Covenants, as well as the Book of Mormon, “will be reminded that the Book of Mormon, and this book of Doctrine and Covenants of the church, cost the best blood of the nineteenth century to bring them forth” (D&C 135:6).
