Come, Follow Me Activities

July 28–August 3: Doctrine and Covenants 84

Temple Truths

Prophets can receive revelation about building temples (see Doctrine and Covenants 84:4–5). Turn to pages 2–3 to read the prophet’s message about temples and do an activity.

For younger children: Show your little ones a picture of a temple while you listen to the song “I Love to See the Temple” (Children’s Songbook, 95).

August 4–10: Doctrine and Covenants 85–87

Favorite Things

The scriptures teach us we should write down important things (see Doctrine and Covenants 85:1–2). On a paper, write, draw, or glue pictures of what is important to you.

For younger children: Ask your little ones questions about their favorite things. Write down their answers or take a video to remember when they’re older.

August 11–17: Doctrine and Covenants 88

Learn and Teach

The scriptures teach that we should try to learn as much as we can (see Doctrine and Covenants 88:118). Think about something you want to learn more about. Read a book about it, ask a friend, or do some research with a parent’s help. Draw a picture of what you learned and share it with your family!

For younger children: Read a book or story to your little ones. Help them learn to say a new word! Share how Heavenly Father wants us to learn new things.

August 18–24: Doctrine and Covenants 89–92

Food and Fun

Heavenly Father wants us to put good foods and drinks into our bodies to help us be healthy! This is called the Word of Wisdom (see Doctrine and Covenants 89). Help make a recipe you love that has fruits or vegetables in it. Ask an adult for help with cooking!

For younger children: Help your little ones name different fruits and vegetables. If you can, go to a store or market to help them learn the names. Remind them that fruits and vegetables make our bodies healthy and strong.

August 25–31: Doctrine and Covenants 93

Light and Truth

Cover a flashlight with multiple pieces of paper. Take one off every time you read one of these scriptures: Doctrine and Covenants 93:24, 28, 37. Talk about how scriptures bring us light.

For younger children: Help your little ones turn on a light while you read a scripture to them. Tell them how the scriptures have helped you in your life.
