Come, Follow Me Activities
For home evening or scripture study—or just for fun!
April 28–May 4: Doctrine and Covenants 41–44
Red Light, Green Light
The scriptures teach how important it is to follow God’s commandments (see Doctrine and Covenants 42). Have one person be the leader and stand in front of the group. When they say “green light,” everyone can move forward. When they say “red light,” everyone has to freeze!
May 5–11: Doctrine and Covenants 45
The Angel’s Trumpet
An angel will blow a trumpet when Jesus Christ comes again (see Doctrine and Covenants 45:45). Make your own paper trumpet! Roll a piece of paper into a cone shape and tape it closed. You can also add a handle to your trumpet or circles for buttons. Then practice speaking into your trumpet and saying why you love Jesus Christ.
May 12–18: Doctrine and Covenants 46–48
Kindness Cup
God gives every person spiritual gifts. That means He blesses us with talents through the Holy Ghost (see Doctrine and Covenants 46:11–33). Find an empty jar or cup. On slips of paper, write different talents or gifts someone might have. Take turns choosing from the jar and naming someone you know who has that gift!
May 19–25: Doctrine and Covenants 49–50
Follow the Path
The gospel of Jesus Christ is often called the everlasting covenant (see Doctrine and Covenants 49:9, 12–14). President Nelson has also called it the covenant path. On several pieces of paper, write down ways we can follow Jesus Christ. Make a path with the papers and take turns walking on it.
