Come, Follow Me Activities

January 27–February 2: Doctrine and Covenants 3–5

Heart Wreath

We can follow Jesus Christ with all our hearts (see Doctrine and Covenants 4:2). Cut out 10 small paper hearts. On each heart, write one way you can follow the Savior. Place the hearts overlapping each other in a circle and glue in place to make a wreath.

For younger children: Cut out a heart for your child to color. As they color, tell them how you try to follow Jesus Christ with all your heart.

February 3–9: Doctrine and Covenants 6–9

Flashlight Fun

God can give us answers to our questions through the Holy Ghost (see Doctrine and Covenants 6:23). Sometimes we need to really focus to understand the message. Get a flashlight and turn off the lights in a room. One person uses the flashlight to draw a picture or letters on the wall. The others try to guess what it is. How is the flashlight like the Holy Ghost?

For younger children: Tell your child about a time when you received a message from Heavenly Father through the Holy Ghost.

February 10–16: Doctrine and Covenants 10–11

Prayer Rocks

The scriptures teach that we should always pray to Heavenly Father (see Doctrine and Covenants 10:5). Use paint or markers to decorate a smooth rock with words or pictures that remind you of Him. Once the rock dries, put it next to your bed to remind you to pray each morning and night.

For younger children: Practice folding your arms and bowing your heads. The help your child say a simple prayer.

February 17–23: Doctrine and Covenants 12–17; Joseph Smith—History 1:66–75

Scripture Sharing

The scriptures say that we should help “bring souls unto [Christ]” (Doctrine and Covenants 16:6). That means helping others learn about Heavenly Father and His plan for us. Cut cards out of paper and write a scripture on them. Give a card to a teacher, friend, or family member to share the gospel with them.

For younger children: Pass a set of scriptures back and forth with your little ones. Tell them something you love about the scriptures.
