This week’s journey through the Book of Mormon takes us to Mosiah 1-3, where the timeless teachings of King Benjamin are shared. In these chapters, we witness King Benjamin’s profound wisdom as he imparts crucial lessons to his people and to our families. From his powerful address concerning service and faith, to the importance of focusing on the temple, King Benjamin’s words resonate with truth and enlightenment.
As we delve into the depths of this prophet-king’s teachings, we uncover invaluable insights that inspire us to seek a deeper connection with our Heavenly Father and serve those around us with love and compassion. Each activity in this week’s lesson will help us learn how to serve our loved ones better each day. Check out some of the activities from this week’s Come Follow Me lesson below!

The elementary bundle is a treasure trove for kids aged 4-11, featuring activities that instill key principles. Let’s explore three highlights:
Go & Do Activity
King Benjamin teaches a great sermon on gratitude. As a family, watch the “A Shower of Heavenly Blessings” video from the lesson. Next, read Mosiah 2:19-25 and discuss how all our blessings come from God. Then, use sticky notes for a fun game of Pictionary and then fill out the “Gratitude Lists” activity together.
Surprise Activity
Make King Benjamin Crowns! Let children be creative with markers, gems, glitter, etc. to decorate their crowns. Place a chair at the front of the room. Give each child a verse from below to read and teach. Let them wear their crown and stand on the chair to be King Benjamin.
Hands-On Activity
Read Mosiah 2:5-6 and talk about how the people pitched their tents around the temple. Make your own Listen to King Benjamin Tents. You can color the tents while you listen to some recent counsel on words taught by King Benjamin by Henry B. Eyring (see lesson for details). Then “pitch” your tents around a LEGO® tower or tower made of other building blocks.

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.
