Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 32 | August 4-10 | Doctrine and Covenants 85-87

Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way we had planned: dinner gets burnt, the car won’t start, or you unexpectedly get laid off from your job. You’ve been promised blessings for keeping the commandments. It might be tempting to wonder where those blessings are when ill fortune strikes.

Thankfully, we know the Lord’s plan of happiness takes into account both blessings and hardships. No matter what happens at home or out in the world, we can choose to “stand… in holy places” by offering a simple prayer (Doctrine and Covenants 87:8). We can reach out to the Lord in our moment of pain to ask Him to comfort us and to give us the strength to endure. No matter what life’s challenges bring, He will be there for us as we choose to remain unmoved in our faith.

This Come Follow Me FHE lesson includes everything needed for a joyful gospel study with your family! Teach your children to love learning about Jesus Christ with our fun activities and inspiring lessons. Start your free trial now!

THIS WEEK’S COME FOLLOW ME HIGHLIGHTS​

Elementary Bundle Lessons & Activities​

We have some great activities and resources to help assist you in celebrating a Christ-centered Easter this year! We recommend picking the activities that work best for you and your family. We think just a few activities will allow you to celebrate Easter, but also allow you time to focus on our Savior and what He has done for us. Our hope is that you will find something meaningful for your family to help celebrate this special holiday!

Break the Code

Scripture Study

It’s time to Break the Code! Complete the puzzle as you read D&C 87:8 as a family and discuss the importance of holy places. Make a list of places that are holy and how holy places can be wherever righteous saints gather. Place the completed puzzle next to a picture of the temple to remind you of holy places all week.

Prophetic Revelation

Go & Do Activity

Years before the American Civil War, Joseph Smith received a revelation of a drawn-out conflict between the U.S. northern and southern states. Section 87 in the Doctrine and Covenants is a testament that prophets receive divine revelation from God. This week’s Go & Do Activity teaches us that latter-day prophets receive similar revelations for our day.

Parable Picture Key

Hands-On Activity

As you read D&C 86:1-7 as a family, use the Parable of the Sower Picture Key as a visual for children to understand the story. After you finish, discuss the symbolism of the wheat and tares. Gather cereal and glue to create your own wheat stalks on the wheat and light activity page. Discuss how you can share your light while completing the craft.

I Can Strengthen My Testimony

Go & Do Activity

Start by discussing why we exercise (to keep our bodies healthy and strong). Read D&C 86:4 and talk about the importance of strengthening our testimonies and making sure they are healthy and strong. Discuss some things you can do to strengthen your testimony. Write down your ideas and put them in a jar or bowl. Pick one out each day this week and do a body exercise and a testimony exercise to make sure that both your bodies and testimonies are getting strong! Play Simon Says (Exercise Version) by saying “Simon Says” and then an exercise move like jumping jacks.

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

“Be Strong and of a Good Courage”

Most of the Israelites heading into the Promised Land had been born in the wilderness. Few remembered the treacherous journey across the bottom of the Red Sea, yet all would experience the miracle again as they crossed the Jordan River on dry ground. This time, however, it was not a crowd of fleeing former slaves who worshipped golden calves. It was the camp of Israel, a covenant-making people who had proven their faithfulness to the Lord.

“Beware Lest Thou Forget the Lord”

Moses taught that faith is best nurtured through the natural rhythms of family life rather than through formal lessons alone. He commanded parents: “Thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way” (Deuteronomy 6:7). Integrating gospel conversations into daily activities helps our children guard against “forgetting the Lord” during times of ease and prosperity.

“Rebel Not Ye against the Lord, Neither Fear”

Moses did not have an easy time being the Israelite’s prophet. From constant squabbles amongst the people to outright apostasy against the Lord, there was plenty of drama he had to deal with. As a prophet, Moses knew what the Israelites could be if they stayed faithful. He told Joshua it would be less of a struggle if everyone could see what the Lord had shown him: “would God that all the Lord’s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!” (Numbers 11:29).
