Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 20 | May 6 - May 12
[row] [col span__sm=”12″]

Can you believe that this is week 18 of the Come Follow Me curriculum? Over the past months I have made a specific and diligent effort to teach our children from the bible in the New Testament in our home. I can honestly say, it has not been easy but it has been worth it! There is a positive change in our home that I  almost can’t describe. There is an added measure of the spirit. Keep doing, keep trying, keep teaching and keep learning of our Savior. Blessings will come!

This week you will study Luke 15 and read the three stories it holds. As part of this you get to play a game. Be sure to follow the directions on your summary sheet for this lesson. I promise that teaching this portion how it is suggested will make learning positive and enjoyable. It allows for wiggle breaks between reading and my kids LOVED the game. 

Included this week in the materials are three mazes. These are to help children understand and connect finding lost things. The mazes, you will notice, are for different ages. There is one that is simple. medium level and challenging for older kids. Watch my Instagram stories for more details and age suggestions for each. 

My kids enjoyed these! My two year old and nine year old were both excited and a bit challenged by them. These cute mazes were a hit this week! 

Another part of this week is the 10 Lepers. Watch the video or read the story from the bible. In our home my oldest son studied the mystery scripture story before hand then taught the story to the family on his own. That was incredible to see! Make sure you use that scripture story! It is a great tool, comes once a month, to teach children how to study and learn from the scriptures. 

The next part of the lesson is fun! Take a look at a few pictures and you can get excited about using this activity in your home. Again, my kids loved it! We are even starting Gratitude Journals later this week, not pictured. I encourage you to do the same. Refer to your lesson materials for all the details.

You can choose to use the paper jars to cut and paste, big or small size. You could also use a real jar and fill with the paper candies or real candies. Your choice! Be creative and make it fun!

The labels and all materials this week are FREE! The first week each month all site visitors get all materials and a complete lesson at no cost.  We do have a membership option for those who would like a come follow me lesson every week!

“I Will Order All Things for Your Good”

Have you ever had a powerful spiritual experience and felt the joy of God’s love, only to feel down again when normal life resumes? Or an hour where your children were seemingly perfect and kind to one another, but the rest of the day was awful? This might have been how the early saints felt by the end of the year following the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. Life itself didn’t get easier with the temple’s completion. Financial troubles and increased persecution made enduring to the end difficult for many saints. Yet those who persevered were blessed not only with strength but also with direction on how they could be a blessing to God’s children even amidst their own trials. The Lord’s comforting words to them are extended to us today as we also can help others feel loved during our own struggles: “Let thy heart be of good cheer before my face… for I, the Lord, have a great work for thee to do” (D&C 112:4,6).

“It Is Thy House, a Place of Thy Holiness”

March 27, 1836, was a special date both on earth and in heaven. For the first time since 70 AD, a temple of God was available for men and women to worship in. Many saints who were present for the dedication saw angels celebrating the return of temple blessings to the world. The Lord Jesus Christ shared His own joy of the temple’s completion in Doctrine and Covenants 110:6-7, when he said, “let the hearts of all my people rejoice, who have, with their might, built this house to my name. For behold, I have accepted this house…”.

“The Order of the Son of God”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is organized according to the Lord’s instructions, as detailed in this week’s reading in the Doctrine and Covenants. One of the ways we can apply the Lord’s guidance in these sections to our families is to establish councils within our homes. We should, with our children, “sit in council with them, and to teach them their duty, edifying one another” (D&C 107:85).
