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.

Though the writings of Isaiah can be intimidating to study, we are encouraged to dive in and embrace this special part of the Old Testament. Isaiah is unique in that the entire book is written by him, as opposed to the historical texts we read earlier this year. Think about it: the word of the Lord straight from the mouth of an ancient prophet in your own home.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a guidebook on how to be a better parent? On how to have less contention in the home? A word or two on having more patience and kindness? The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom given to David, Solomon, and others who sought the guidance of Heaven. Many verses, when read with prayer and real intent, can answer our prayers when we need heavenly guidance in raising our children, such as this one: “A soft answer turneth away wrath” (Proverbs 15:1).
As we continue through Psalms, we are taught that humility is required to recognize God’s personal affection for each of His children. Heavenly Father knows each of us better than we know ourselves—our thoughts, strengths, and struggles—and offers His scriptures as a light to guide us home through life’s darkness and challenges.
