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.
Explain that all trains need a track. The track helps the train stay on course, get where it needs to go, and avoid danger. When we obey the commandments and keep our covenants we are “on track.” Read D&C 54:6 and explain that covenants are promises that we make with Heavenly Father. Assemble the train on the tracks. Let the children move the train on the tracks. Sing the song “The Train on The Track” with your child (the words are included in your lesson materials).
Play the “Staying On Track Board Game.” As you roll the dice answer the corresponding questions as listed on the instruction page before moving your game piece. At the end of the game discuss how we will stay on track as we keep our covenants. Give each person a badge to wear to remind them to stay on track.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Read D&C 52:14-19 and highlight the characteristics of Godly men. Use the “Prophet Pictures” and sing Follow The Prophet. While singing, listen for attributes of the prophets. Discuss what the pattern is with all of these prophets. For younger children, consider creating a pattern with simple shapes or actions (ex. stomp, clap, snap, stomp, clap snap, etc).
As a family make a small batch of chocolate chip cookies. Instead of putting in sugar put in salt but don’t tell your family. Let your family eat the cookies and when they realize the cookies don’t taste good, tell them that you told a little lie. You put salt in instead of sugar but you didn’t think it would matter. Discuss the consequences of lying. Finish the lesson by using the “chocolate chip cookies journaling.”
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, May 1st-31st.

Abraham lived a life of violence and peace, of trauma and healing, and of promises and faith. Through every trial, Abraham trusted in the Lord and chose to follow Him even when his world was at its darkest. He was rewarded with a covenant that encompasses all of God’s children and will last into the eternities. This covenant and its blessings are extended to our families today.
The phrase, “found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Moses 8:27), has at least two meanings that can bless our families. One is that Noah lived in a way that allowed the Lord to strengthen him and his family during difficult circumstances. A second meaning is that Noah discovered the peace that comes from looking at life through God’s eyes. By looking at life with an eternal perspective, Noah “walked with God, as did also his three sons” (Moses 8:27) even in a world filled with wickedness.
In less than one generation, the world God created was filled with wickedness. One exception was Enoch, a prophet who taught his people how to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. As Enoch talked with God, he was amazed to see that the Divine Creator would cry at the fall of His children: “How is it thou canst weep?” (Moses 7:31). God responded, “They are the workmanship of mine own hands” (Moses 7:32). He was sad because each child of God is precious to Him. He grieves for each one of us when our choices take us away from Him.
