Come, Follow Me Activities

For home evening or scripture study—or just for fun!

February 26–March 3

Paper Temples

For 2 Nephi 11–19

alt text

Isaiah taught that temples are special places where we learn about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ (see 2 Nephi 12:3). Make your own temple! Fold a piece of paper into thirds. Cut one end into a triangle. Unfold the paper and draw yourself in the middle.

For younger children: Look at a picture of a temple together. Talk about how you can feel love in God’s house just like in your own home.

March 4–10

Singing Testimonies

For 2 Nephi 20–25

alt text

Isaiah shared his testimony of Jesus Christ. He said Jesus was his strength and his song (see 2 Nephi 22:2). What songs about Jesus do you like? Talk about why you love them. Then sing them together!

For younger children: Sing “Tell Me the Stories of Jesus” (Children’s Songbook, 57) together. Have your child hold up a picture of Jesus each time He’s mentioned in the song.

March 11–17

Line upon Line Storytime

For 2 Nephi 26–30

alt text

Heavenly Father helps us learn “line upon line,” or a little bit at a time (2 Nephi 28:30). Together, tell a favorite scripture story one line at a time! Everyone takes turns saying one sentence of the story until the story’s done.

For younger children: Heavenly Father helps us learn about Jesus Christ. Turn to page 48 and take turns coloring one part of the picture at a time.

March 18–24

Steps to Follow Jesus

For 2 Nephi 31–33

alt text

Nephi taught that we follow Jesus Christ when we have faith in Him, repent, are baptized, receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and endure to the end (see 2 Nephi 31). Write each step on a different piece of paper, then spread them on the floor. One person closes their eyes and counts to 10 while everyone else stands on a paper. The person who counted then says one of the steps to follow Jesus. The person on that paper counts next.

For younger children: When we have faith in Jesus Christ, we follow what He says. Form a line and walk around. The person in front is the leader. Each person copies how the leader walks. Take turns being the leader!

March 25–31

Easter Lilies

For Easter

alt text

Because of Jesus Christ, we will live again after we die (see Alma 40:22–25). Make the Easter lilies craft on page 17. Put your lilies where your family can see them to help you remember the Savior this week.

For younger children: Read about Easter on page 46. Have your children point to each picture of Jesus as you read.
