Come, Follow Me Activities

May 26–June 1: Doctrine and Covenants 51–57

Story Time

The Savior asked Joseph Smith to put good books in the Church’s schools so that children could learn what He wanted them to (see Doctrine and Covenants 55:4). Pick a favorite book or story. Take turns reading and sharing what you learned.

For younger children: Pick out a favorite story from the Friend to read with your little ones. Ask them to repeat some of the words.

June 2–8: Doctrine and Covenants 58–59

Sunday Blessings

Read Doctrine and Covenants 59:9–19 and talk about how we are blessed when we keep the Sabbath day holy. Then turn to page 13 and pick an activity to do.

For younger children: Look through the Friend magazine for pictures of things that can help your little ones remember Jesus Christ on Sunday.

June 9–15: Doctrine and Covenants 60–63

Find and Speak

God wants us to speak about sacred things carefully (see Doctrine and Covenants 63:64). With a group, stand in a circle with one person in the middle, holding a set of scriptures. That person closes their eyes, spins, and points to someone. The person they chose shares a scripture with everyone else.

For younger children: Teach your little ones how to speak reverently. Practice by showing them pictures of different places, like a temple or a park, and showing how we speak there.

June 16–22: Doctrine and Covenants 64–66

A Willing Mind

The Lord wants us to have a willing heart and mind (see Doctrine and Covenants 64:34). We can spend time thinking about Jesus Christ to come closer to Him! Get a bag or basket to represent your mind. Put things inside the bag that will help you think about the Savior.

For younger children: Help your little ones point to their mind and their heart. Talk about how we can fill our minds and hearts with happy things that help us be close to Jesus Christ.

June 23–29: Doctrine and Covenants 67–70

Gifts for Friends

In the scriptures, we learn how important it is to have “true and faithful” friends to help us follow Jesus Christ (see Doctrine and Covenants 69:1–2). Make a gift to give to a friend! You could paint a picture, make a bracelet, or bake a treat. Write a note with your gift to tell your friend that you love them.

For younger children: Give your little ones the coloring page on page 48 to color. Help them give it to a friend or family member as a gift.
