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.

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

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams. The toddler bundle Includes a full lesson plan with THREE activities that align with scripture written by an early childhood educator. 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.
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.

Though we have reached the end of the Doctrine and Covenants, the work of the Restoration is still ongoing: “We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God” (Articles of Faith 1:9). Prophets still reveal the will of God. The Church is still growing to fill the Earth.
“What happens after we die?” This is a question commonly asked by all of God’s children. Because of continuing revelation through living prophets, we know! Doctrine and Covenants Sections 137 and 138 reveal that our loved ones who have died go to a place of rest if they were faithful in their testimony of Christ, where they are then prepared to teach the gospel in the spirit world. Those who died who were not faithful are given the opportunity to learn about Jesus Christ and accept ordinances performed by the living: “and thus was the gospel preached to the dead” (D&C 138:30).
Doctrine and Covenants Section 135 could be viewed as the conclusion of the entire Doctrine and Covenants scriptures, were it not for additional revelation given to the saints. This section witnesses the divinity of the Prophet Joseph’s calling. It declares Joseph’s work to be of God and that it will never fail. It also testifies that those who read the Doctrine and Covenants, as well as the Book of Mormon, “will be reminded that the Book of Mormon, and this book of Doctrine and Covenants of the church, cost the best blood of the nineteenth century to bring them forth” (D&C 135:6).
