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.

This week’s lesson from Psalms (Psalms 49–51; 61–66; 69–72; 77–78; 85–86) centers on God’s endless mercy, forgiveness, and role as our safe refuge. The psalmists openly share their struggles, fears, and mistakes, showing us that faith isn’t about being perfect—it’s about knowing who to turn to when we need help.
In modern times, the Lord declared “the song of the heart is a prayer unto me” (Doctrine and Covenants 25:12). In ancient times, songs, or psalms, were used to praise the Lord and remember His covenants with His people. Many Psalms are attributed to King David, whose relationship with God is one of the most detailed in the entire Old Testament. It’s no wonder David is thought to be the author of so many songs that praise the Lord for His strength, His mercy, His patience with His children, and His eternal love for all mankind.
Job had many blessings in his life: a large family, a devoted spouse, and wealth that provided plenty and more for his household. Job gave thanks to God for his blessings, but even when nearly every blessing was taken away, he did not lessen his faith. Instead, as those around him said his faith had been a waste of time, Job showed his trust in the Lord by exercising Christlike patience and long suffering. Eventually, Job’s faith was rewarded, and his trust in God was justified.
