Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 7 | February 12-18 | 2 Nephi 3-5

This week begins a new era in the Book of Mormon as Nephi becomes the patriarch of his family. 2 Nephi is a powerful book of scripture that not only teaches how we should live as families but also why we should do our best to love and nurture each other. In this Come Follow Me lesson, we’ll use crafts, storytelling, and games to help your children understand connections between the Old Testament and modern-day prophets, temples, and other inspiring principles. 

Check out some highlights from this week’s Come Follow Me lesson below! Access these engaging lessons and everything you need to make Come Follow Me a success for your kids when you join our membership. For only $10 a month, we’ll help you become a master teacher at home or in your primary class.

The elementary bundle is a treasure trove for kids aged 4-11, featuring activities that instill key principles. Let’s explore three highlights:

Temple Builders

Go & Do

As a family read and discuss 2 Nephi 5:15-16. Show your family a picture of a temple and discuss the importance of temples. Talk about why it was so important to Nephi to build a temple when they got to the promised land. Watch a video about temples and then have a temple-building contest out of material in your home like cardboard or toy building blocks.

Prophetic Visions: Joseph Smith Foretold

Coloring Page

Read 2 Nephi 3:14-15 about Joseph of Egypt prophesying of Joseph Smith many, many years before he was born. See if your children can guess who and what he is talking about. Then color the Prophesy of Joseph Smith coloring page together.

Hands-On Activity

After reading 2 Nephi 4:15-16 (You can read verses 15-35 for more of the story), follow the instructions to make your own “brass plates.” Then use the Book of Mormon Writings page from the lesson to engrave your own words or your favorite scripture onto your plates.

These include a coloring page, another printable activity, and a movement activity that helps young children understand the scriptures. Here are a couple of highlights from this week’s lesson.

Temple Treasures: Scavenger Hunt Adventure

Interactive Exploration

Set up a scavenger hunt around your home using pictures of temples. Then gather your children and begin by singing “I Love to See the Temple” (Children’s Songbook, pg. 95). Read 2 Nephi 5:15-16 and teach that Nephi and his people built temples. Next, give each child a pair of binoculars and invite them to go on a hunt with you to find temples around the house. You can gather all the pictures and return to the living room. Sing a song of your choice about temples and this time let each family member hold a picture of a temple (from the hunt) as you sing.

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

“A Voice of Gladness for the Living and the Dead”

Even during the early years in Nauvoo, there were times when the Prophet Joseph still had to flee for his life from those who sought to stop the work. Yet even in hiding, he continued to keep his focus on the restoration of the gospel, specifically with baptisms for the dead. “That subject seems to occupy my mind, and press itself upon my feelings the strongest, since I have been pursued by my enemies” (Doctrine and Covenants 128:1). No matter what trials he faced, Joseph never forgot his calling to restore Christ’s Church.

“A House Unto My Name”

Building the city of Nauvoo was not the first time the Saints had to begin again, but it was the first time they could start new from the ground up. As the saints gathered from Missouri to build this new city, many were sick and still reeling from the harsh persecution they had suffered. The Prophet Joseph administered to the saints, healing them both physically and spiritually. Through His Prophet, the Lord promised the saints that, “If ye labor with all your might, I will consecrate that spot that it shall be made holy” (Doctrine and Covenants 124:44)

“O God, Where Are Thou?”

The recent passing of President Russell M. Nelson brings to memory his last conference talk, where he quoted verses from this week’s section: Doctrine and Covenants 121. President Nelson referenced D&C 121:45, where the Lord shares that having confidence “in the presence of God” comes from having charity and virtue. Additionally, we’re told that if we have charity and virtue, we will have a greater understanding of “the doctrine of the priesthood.”
