Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 51 | December 15-21 | The Family: A Proclamation to the World

Every family comes with their own set of trials and blessings. Parents and children alike have both memorable times together, as well as times in which forgiveness is needed to move forward in love and harmony. As the Proclamation teaches, Jesus Christ is the key to strengthening bonds and repairing relationships that break: “Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ultimately, all we do as a family in righteousness prepares us to live with God, exalted, as a family in heaven.

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!

Serving Your Family

Go & Do Activity

Read paragraph six of The Family Proclamation. Talk about how one of the responsibilities of parents is to teach their children “to love and serve one another.” Discuss ways you can be more loving and serve each other. This is a good reminder to love and serve each other, not just this week, but always. Do a quick service activity to show your love for your family.

Happy Family

Hands-On Activity

Begin by singing the song “Happy Family,” on page 198a of the Children’s Songbook. Use the Happy Family Stick Puppets to hold up as you sing (cut out and tape a popsicle stick to the back). Discuss the qualities each member of your family contributes to your family and how each person is important. Finish by playing Family BINGO.

Holding Hands

Surprise Activity

Read paragraph 7 of The Family Proclamation and talk about the day you got married. Then, make a paper doll chain together to show all members of your family holding hands. Talk about how your family can be happy and work together.

I Can Have a Happy Family

Hands-On Activity

Begin by singing “Families Can Be Together Forever” (Children’s Songbook, pg. 188). Talk about how we can be together with our family forever. Heavenly Father wants us to have happy families now and forever. Read the following quote: from The Proclamation: “Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.” Teach that Heavenly Father has told us the things we can do to have a happy family. Use the happy family sticker chart and plan things you can do this week to accomplish each task that can help your family be happy. Put a sticker in the box after you complete each activity. At the end of the week, talk about how your family feels after doing the things Heavenly Father has told us helps our families be happy.

“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).
