“The Lord Raised Up a Deliverer”

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 22 | May 25-31 | Judges 2–4; 6–8; 13–16

What does the perfect parent look like? Is it someone who never yells? Who is always present with their children? Maybe it’s someone who cooks food that the kids never complain about. The Book of Judges teaches us that even with specific rules and expectations, the children of Israel had a habit of returning to sin and idolatry time and time again. Even after they sinned or complained yet again, the Lord always invited them to start new and return to Him.

While we are not perfect parents, we can make up for our shortcomings through Jesus Christ. His grace and forgiveness allow us to always try again. Whether we feel regret for raising our voice to a child, or are trying not to become upset after yet another dinner was wasted by picky eaters, He will deliver us from our sorrow and bring our family closer together in love and faith.

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!

Parable of the Popcorn

Surprise Activity

Using the link on our media page, watch “Gideon: The Full Story” as a family. Talk about how the Lord asked Gideon to do things that may have seemed unpopular or small at the time, yet they led to great and marvelous works. Then, enjoy a story and snack with the Parable of the Popcorn activity. Discuss how you can be more like Gideon when God asks you to do something.

Bound by Sin

Hands-On Activity

Jesus Christ is our healer and deliverer, which means He can help us during trials or when we are “bound by sin.” As a family, read Judges 3:7–9 and 12–15. Discuss the steps of repentance and how they help us become clean again. Use the Bondage Chain Activity as a visual to show how Christ literally breaks the chains of sin and frees us through His Atonement.

Strong Like Deborah

Coloring Page

As a family, take turns reading the story of Deborah in Judges 4:1–15. As you read, ask your children if they’ve ever had to choose the right or stand up for what’s right when others didn’t. Share how Deborah is a powerful example in the scriptures of someone who stood for truth and lived her values. Then, color and display the Deborah poster as a reminder to be strong and faithful like Deborah.

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams.

Little Hands

Family Activity

Trace your child’s hands on a piece of paper and cut them out. Then, trace and cut out the hands of other family members. Ask your child, “Who has the smallest hands?” Explain that even small hands can do great things! Tell the story of Gideon’s army of 300 soldiers (see Judges 7). Even though the army was small in number, they were mighty and strong because they trusted and worshipped Heavenly Father. Play the Small Things, Great Work matching game together. As you play, talk about the small things we can do each day to become strong and mighty with Heavenly Father’s help. On each paper hand, write a way your family can use their hands to do great things for the Lord. Then sing “I Have Two Little Hands” (Children’s Songbook, p. 272).

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