This Come Follow Me lesson has a different format then the others. There will be a short lesson and activity each day. There are eight activities so be sure to start on Sunday or double up one of the days to get through all of them.
Throughout the week you will be following the timeline for the last week of Christ’s life. Complete the activity for each day and then hang the image in a timeline in your home. You can use string and clothespins or masking tape.
On Wednesday you get to learn about the 10 Virgins. You could consider buying an oil lamp and teaching around it’s light. Use the paper oil lamps to discuss how we can be prepared to meet the Lord. Use the wordstrips to help teach about the symbolism of the parable and read the quote by President Kimball.
On Friday the topic is the Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial. We love using our felt set from j.m.porium to help teach in a simple way.
On Sunday discuss the Resurrection. Read the scriptures listed in the timeline and sing songs about the Resurrection. Use the Symbols of Christ’s Resurrection Egg Set activity to review what you have learned all week.
This Come Follow Me FHE lesson covers two weeks because of General Conference. We have provided multiple bonus activities that are meaningful and fun.
Print and make the Tomb Activity. This is a great hands on activity to help children understand the Resurrection.

Having the Spirit in our homes is essential to teaching kids the gospel of Jesus Christ. From the prophets Hosea and Joel, we learn that the Lord’s traits include being “gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and… great kindness” (Joel 2:13). If we show these traits as parents, we will create an environment where the Lord will “pour out his spirit” in our lives.
When Daniel stood up to the king and chose to protect his health, he showed incredible faith! This week, you can teach your children that same principle with the interactive Daniel Food Box craft and a batch of simple No-bake Energy Bites. As your family reads Daniel 1, you’ll get to talk about how fueling our bodies with healthy food is a wonderful way to express our devotion and love for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
Though the captive Israelites didn’t have a temple to worship in Babylon, they still held on to the blessings that came from keeping their covenants. We should teach our children that the temple is a special place, and its blessings can touch every part of our lives!
