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.
Ask your child what they know about your Bishop. Tell them some details like where he lives and some good qualities he has. Teach your children some of the roles of the Bishop. You can read D&C 72 ahead of time and summarize it. Play the “Pin The Tie on the Bishop” game. You can decorate the tie with markers, crayons or stickers. After playing write a thank you note on one of the ties. Find a time for your child to deliver the note to the Bishop. Consider sharing a time when the Bishop helped your family.
Discuss with your family who the Bishop of your ward is. This will help your children connect what they are learning to real life. Use the “Bishop Coloring Page” and let your children make the picture look like your Bishop.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Watch the video of our prophet teaching the importance of the Bible and The Book of Mormon. Then read D&C 73:3. Discuss what you learn about why the Lord is asking Joseph to retranslate the Bible. Make the “Foldable Mini Scripture Books.” Let each person draw or write about stories they know in the Book of Mormon and Bible.
Read D&C 73:3. Discuss with your family what the word idle means. Ask your family why they think the Lord doesn’t want us to be idle. Discuss the answers they give. Then play the “Best Efforts Charades Game.” This will give your family ideas of what you can do to not be idle.
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.
