Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 12 | March 17-23 | Doctrine and Covenants 23-26

The establishment of the Church, while joyous, did not result in peace. Persecutions have always been the world’s reaction to gospel truths. Yet even when troubles arose, the Lord comforted His saints with peace: “Be patient in afflictions, for thou shalt have many; but… I am with thee” (D&C 24:8). Through their trials, the saints grew their faith in Jesus Christ.

When we are faced with trials, we should not think of them as punishments or “bad luck.” All things are meant for our good as children of God. In our families, we grow closer together as we make happy memories and find ways through difficulties. If we endure, we and our families will receive “a crown of righteousness” (D&C 25:15).

THIS WEEK’S COME FOLLOW ME HIGHLIGHTS​

Elementary Bundle Lessons & Activities​

The lesson for this week is simplified but intentional to focus your thoughts and efforts on the Savior and His birth. We hope you take the time to use the activities provided to incorporate the light of Christ into your lives and into this special season

An Elect Lady

Hands-on Activity

Emma Smith was declared “an elect lady” in a revelation in D&C 25. Using the list of attributes in this chapter, compile and complete the An Elect Child Worksheet with your family. Have each person pick one of the attributes to focus and work on this week.

The Power of Music

Surprise Activity

Have your family of times they have felt the Spirit through music. Music is a powerful tool in feeling the Spirit and converting us to the gospel of Jesus Christ, as taught in D&C 25. Play the Hum Your Favorite Hymn Game to focus on how uplifting music draws us closer to Christ, and is a song of righteousness and a prayer.

A Song of the Heart

Coloring Page

Emma Smith was tasked with compiling the first hymnal for the church. In D&C 25 we read that the Lord delights in music! Find your favorite hymns and sing them as a family while you color the “…for my soul delighteth in the song of the heart…” coloring page on uplifting and worthy music.

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams.

Dancing and Singing

Go & Do Activity

Before the lesson, compile a list of your family’s favorite Primary songs/hymns. Write them on strips of paper or sticky notes. As a family, read D&C 25:12-13. Teach that Heavenly Father and Jesus want us to be happy, and want us to have the spirit. Explain that good songs, like the ones we sing at church, help us have those good feelings. They make us feel delighted and rejoice, just like the scriptures teach us. Next, take the papers and sprinkle them on the floor. Play freeze dance to a fun wiggle song. Explain to your child that when they hear the music stop, they need to go and jump on one paper and that will be the song that you sing together as a family. You could even mix it up and sing some songs then watch the lyric videos for others. There are a lot of great videos with pictures on YouTube. You could also put together the egg shakers and shake them while you sing some of the songs. Play this game for as long as your child finds it enjoyable.

The toddler bundle includes a lesson plan and three activities every week. Grab the toddler bundle in our subscription.

“The Lord Looketh on the Heart”

Have you ever been jealous of your neighbor? The Israelites sure were. They wanted a king to rule over them as other nations had, believing that life would be better and more secure. However, when Israel’s prophet prayed about having a king as a leader, the Lord responded that the people’s jealous desire was actually a rejection of Him as their true King: “they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them” (1 Samuel 8:7). Their need for what others’ possessed had decreased their faith in Him.

“My Heart Rejoiceth in the Lord”

The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.

“The Lord Raised Up a Deliverer”

What does the perfect parent look like? Is it someone who never yells? Who is always present with their children? Maybe it’s someone who cooks food that the kids never complain about. The Book of Judges teaches us that even with specific rules and expectations, the children of Israel had a habit of returning to sin and idolatry time and time again. Even after they sinned or complained yet again, the Lord always invited them to start new and return to Him.
