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.
Show your child the stop and go traffic signs. Ask them what each sign means. Explain that obeying the traffic laws keeps us safe. Read D&C 130:20-21. When we obey the commandments that Heavenly Father gives us we are blessed with safety. Sing the song “Quickly, I’ll Obey” in the Children’s Songbook. Then play the “Red Light, Green Light” game. You can use the QR code on your lesson plan page for instructions on how to play. Share your testimony about how your life has been blessed as you quickly obey God’s commandments.
Read Doctrine and Covenants 130:18-19. Discuss what it means to attain knowledge. Then think about all the places we can gain knowledge. Finish by coloring the “Oh The Places You’ll Learn Coloring Page.”
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Before the lesson, hang each of the “Traffic Sign Envelopes” around your house. Place the “Obedient Servant Clues” inside the envelope. Use blue painters tape to make arrows to lead your family to each of these envelopes. Discuss the two types of laws we have, laws of the land (traffic laws) and laws of God (commandments). Read D&C 130:20-21 and 132:5. Let your children follow the arrows. When you find the envelopes, read the clues about each obedient servant of God. Let children guess who the servant is, then discuss how we can be obedient like that person.
Show your family the “Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ Print”. Read D&C 130:22. Ask your children what our bodies have in common or the same. Explain that we are created in their image. For younger kids you could get a doll and have them point out the dolls eyes and then their eyes, etc. to help them understand the similarities. Then give your children the black and white version of the print and let them color or water paint it.
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, November 1st-30th.

Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
Abraham and Sarah had a lot to worry about. From infertility and famine to war and the safety of their family, it could have been easy to forget their covenants while focusing on their daily concerns. Yet they showed faith by putting the Lord first each day. As a result of keeping their covenants, they knew the Lord would help them throughout their lives. As Abraham told his son, Isaac, “God will provide” (Genesis 22:8). We should follow Abraham’s example of faith and always put the Lord first.
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.
