“The Lord Was with Joseph”

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 11 | March 9-15 | Genesis 37–41

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.

We don’t always know what trials or blessings await us, but we do know that so long as we are faithful to the Lord, we will feel His love and be given the strength to carry on. Learning from Joseph’s example of faith, we can seek out our own “answer of peace” during hard times (Genesis 41:16).

Our hope is that you will find something meaningful for your family to help celebrate this special holiday!

Flee Temptation

Hands-On Activity

Grab a magnet, paper clip, and two large pieces of paper (you will be using the paper to write some lists). Then, use the Fleeing Temptation object lesson to show your family what can happen when we allow ourselves to be attracted to temptation.

Prophet Puppet

Surprise Activity

Read Genesis 41:15-36, 47- 57 and act out the story by using the printable food (print as many pages as needed).

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

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

Years of Plenty

Family Activity

Teach that sometimes we have dreams that have special meaning, but we may not know what the dream means. Heavenly Father helped Joseph understand what Pharaoh’s dream meant. There would be seven years that the fields would grow lots of food, followed by seven years of famine when the crops would not grow. When Joseph told the Pharaoh the meaning of his dream, Pharaoh made Joseph a leader. Joseph collected the food so that the people would have food during the famine. Hide the printable fruits and vegetables around your house. With your child, collect the food. Share your testimony that Heavenly Father will help us know what to do to help our families.

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).
