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.
While coloring the Armor of God coloring page, teach about each piece of armor and what it represents. Explain that when we make good choices we will be protected. Make a Shield of Faith out of cardboard. Decorate it with stickers or markers or cover it with aluminum foil. Tape a cardboard handle to the back. Use soft items like rolled up socks to throw at your child’s shield for them to block.
Read D&C 27:1-2 and discuss the importance of the sacrament. To help them focus on the Savior during the Sacrament, create the “Things I Can Think About During the Sacrament Flipbook.”
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Gather the items to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Ask your children to tell you how to make the sandwich. Follow their directions exactly. Then explain that just like there is an order to making a pb&j sandwich, God has and order for how He reveals His will. Use the “All Things Must Be Done In Order Cut and Paste Activity.”
Read the quote in the Come Follow Me For Individuals and Families on page 50 by President Ballard. Discuss what it means to have “small spiritual acts woven together in a fabric of spiritual fortification.” Then use the “Spiritual Weaving Activity” to better understand what weaving means.

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.
