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.
Teach your family what the word “reveal” means. You can do this by hiding a toy under a blanket without them knowing, then pick up the blanket and show the toy. Explain that Jesus has revealed many gospel truths like baptism and temple ordinances. When Jesus comes again He will reveal all things. Read D&C 101:32-34 and Article of Faith #9. Assemble the “He Shall Reveal All Things Flap Book” and read it aloud with your child. Bear your testimony about all the precious things the Lord has revealed.
Use the “Where Can I Turn For Peace Finding Activity.” Put the pieces in a Hymn Book before the lesson begins. Let each person think of a time when they searched for peace. Listen to the song “Where Can I Turn For Peace?” Let the kids look in the book for the pictures. After all the images have been found discuss the phrases written on some of the cards and the meaning of the song. End with your testimony of a time when you found peace.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Before the lesson create a forgiveness photo booth using the “Forgiveness Photo Props.” Read Matthew 18:25. Discuss how much seven times seventy is. Let older children solve this equation. Then teach that it isn’t about the number but that we should always forgive each other. Use the “Forgiveness Scenarios” and let the children practice forgiving. Then take pictures with the photo booth.
Show your family hardened chocolate. Let children touch it and feel how hard it is. Put it in a container and show that it maintains its shape. Heat the chocolate and contrast the melted chocolate to the first one. The melted chocolate will allow you to shape it into any shape. Place the melted chocolate on wax paper and let children shape it. Watch “The Refiners Fire” video. Relate this video and the Chocolate to D&C 100:16, 101:3-5, and 101:18.

Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers did not come after they had paid restitution or offered an apology. He forgave them the moment he realized they had changed from their jealous ways when they offered themselves in place of Benjamin for punishment. How overwhelming it must have been for Joseph to see such love amongst his brothers. His forgiveness came with no strings attached: “be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves” (Genesis 45:5).
In every moment of Joseph’s story, God was with him. From his brothers’ betrayal and serving Potiphar, to a friend of Pharaoh and the savior of his family, at no time was Joseph forgotten by God. Through the good and the bad, he trusted that God knew who he was and had faith that everything would be all right.
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.
