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.
Shine a flashlight in the room and talk about how the flashlight lights the darkness. Then turn on the light in the room and explain how the room light provides even more light then the flashlight. Ask your children what gives light to the whole world? The sun! The gospel of Jesus Christ brings His light to the whole world too. Read D&C 106:5. Discuss ways we can help light the world, by sharing the gospel and giving service. Color and cut out the “sun mask.” Have your child hold the sun mask around their head and sing “Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam.”
Learn about the priesthood by doing “The Priesthood Sort.” Before starting place the cutout illustration of the Aaronic Priesthood and Melchizedek Priesthood on envelopes. Cut each strip and mix them up. Take turns drawing a piece of paper. Read the scripture and sort it in the correct envelope. After completing the sort, sing some songs about the priesthood.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Read D&C 108:3. Using the “Carefully Living My Covenants Brings Blessings Activity” review the covenants we’ve made or will make and how we can “bee” a covenant keeper. Then let each person make a “bee craft.” You can attach the bee to a popsicle stick and let the children fly the around the room. Or attach a straw to the back of the bee, pull a string through the straw and attach the sting on objects across from each other. Blow the bee down the sting to make it look like it’s flying.
Read D&C 107:21-26, 33-35 and 65-66. Discuss how the Lord leads His church through His servants. Play the “First Presidency and Apostles Match Game.” This is a great opportunity to start to prepare your family for General Conference.

Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, but he found that once they were in the wilderness, it wasn’t so easy to take Egypt out of the Israelites. Even with the many miracles and signs the people had witnessed, they still wanted to return to a life of slavery with every hardship they encountered. If the Israelites were to be the Lord’s chosen people, this could not be.
How did Moses prepare the Israelites to make covenants with the Lord? We read in Exodus 25 that God gave commandments to His people to help them be ready for greater covenant blessings when He would “dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). Even though the Israelites struggled to keep these commandments, they were eventually blessed as they remained true to the Lord. We will also receive all promised blessings as we live our lives in faithfulness.
Following the 10 Plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, you would think that the Israelites were in a powerful place spiritually. They had seen incredible miracles and had sure witnesses that the Lord was with them. Yet, upon facing a shortage of food and water, the people were willing to abandon everything God had done for them and return to slavery: “Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt… when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness” (Exodus 16:3).
