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.
As a family discuss things you treasure. Ideas could include family, your home, the gospel, the temple, etc. Write your answers on the back of the gems. Read D&C 110-2, 9-11. Hide the treasure gems around the house. With your child go on a treasure hunt and collect all the gems. When your child has found all the gems, make a necklace using a hole punch and some yarn. Explain that as we search for the treasures Heavenly Father has given us, we find Jesus. As a bonus, complete the “Treasure Hunt to Christ” activity. Share your testimony about how Heavenly Father has blessed your family with eternal treasures and led you to Jesus.
Read D&C 111:2, 10-11 and discuss the difference between worldly treasures and treasures that come from God. Use the “Treasures of God” page to write on the apple gems the things you treasure that come from God. Then paste the apples to the tree and display the tree in your home where you can see it all week.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Before the lesson assemble your sheep and cut out the food for the “Feed My Sheep Activity.” Read D&C 112:14-15. Explain that the sheep in these verses are us, everyone who is living on this earth. Let each person pick a clover or a grass and read an example of how we can feed the sheep. As you read each example, share experiences or stories when you or someone you know has done each of these things.
Read D&C 112:11. Share ways you can let your love abound to all men. Let each person share a real life example of when they have shown love to others. Play the “Roll and Cover Game.” Once all the hearts are covered, let children trace the scripture on the printable. As an additional activity, complete the “Heart Lace Ups.”
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, October 1st-31st.

Learning is a lifelong journey. While we tend to think of our years in school as the only time in life when we need to gain an education, we know through Doctrine and Covenants 88 that the Lord instructs His faithful to create places of learning in their own homes (D&C 88:119). How do we do that?
Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way we had planned: dinner gets burnt, the car won’t start, or you unexpectedly get laid off from your job. You’ve been promised blessings for keeping the commandments. It might be tempting to wonder where those blessings are when ill fortune strikes.
What is “godliness?” Doctrine and Covenants Section 84 uses the word to describe the way that God prepares us to return to live with Him one day. We do this by inviting our children to be baptized and prepare for the temple. Through participating in priesthood ordinances, we increase our access to the priesthood and experience “the power of godliness” as we come to see God’s presence in our lives every day (Doctrine and Covenants 84:20).
