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.

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
