Our 4 Activity lesson plan follows right along with the Book of Mormon 2024 Come, Follow Me-Home and Church Manual: January 8–14: “I Will Go and Do” | 1 Nephi 1-5 

 

We have designed these packets to be used for families of ALL ages! There are activities and coloring pages for the little ones, and there are worksheets, activities, and discussion questions for older children and teens!

 

  • Activity 1: This is a longer lesson and will take 30-45 minutes depending on how much your family likes to discuss! This will be similar to a traditional Family Home Evening.  Begin with a prayer and choose a song if your family likes to sing. Appendix C in the manual will give you a list of songs that they are singing in Primary each month. Sunday would be a great day to use this lesson, but pick which day works best for your family. This lesson will teach your family about Nephi and his family leaving Jerusalem. 
  • Activities 2-4: should take about 10-15 minutes (sometimes longer depending on your family.)

   

The main instruction page of our packet is divided into 4 days of devotionals, all on one page. This will help you have an easy reference to the instructions for each day. They can be guided by the parents, or assign a day to each family member. Choose a time to have your devotionals - breakfast, family prayer, driving around in the car - whichever works best for you! Have the person prepared to start the devotional and prepare any printables that you will be using. We encourage you, as parents, to study the suggested scriptures each week ahead of your family. This will help you be prepared to guide the devotionals and be ready for questions that are asked.

HOW IT WORKS

Our Home & Family Subscription Plan Includes:

1. Weekly Lesson Plan

In our Family Weekly Lesson Packets, we include 4 devotionals that follow along with the Come, Follow Me manual from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The first devotional includes a longer lesson that will take about 30-60 minutes. The other 3 devotionals include 10-15 minute lessons. 

As a family, you can choose the day you'd like the longer lesson. Then choose to have the devotionals in the morning or evening.

Included in the lesson plan are learning activities, cut and color activities, object lessons, family games, links to videos, question cards, links to helpful articles in the Friend magazine, etc. We give suggestions for older and younger children so you can use what works best for your family.

Also included is our popular QUICK STUDY page! This page contains a scripture illustration on one side and 3 "quick study" and discussion ideas on the other. Place these on your table or another convenient spot for those days when you need a quick spiritual lesson.

NEW For 2024! SHARE CARDS This simple image will include a quote or scripture each week that you can easily share with others. Send it in a text to start a conversation or post it to your social media. As our families have grown and many of us here at Love Pray Teach have adult children now, we realized we needed something that we could share to continue including them in our family Come, Follow Me scripture studies.

 

2. Come Follow Me Study Guides for Adults and Teens

We have collaborated with Cali Black from Come Follow Me Study to bring you her "Big Picture/Little Picture Study Guides" for adults and teens! Each week, you will be given the information you need to study and understand the scriptures, along with important questions to help you learn. These guides will prepare you to teach your families and/or classes. They're also perfect for older teens.

 

3. My Book of Mormon Adventure Activity Book

Your children are going to have so much fun with these comic book style pages! These are designed for children who can read and write on their own. Each month, we will release one page for each week, plus a Who's Who page that includes all the key players in that month's Come, Follow Me reading. Each comic book activity page will help your children dive into the scriptures and learn to apply the principles into their own lives, while making it fun and engaging!
 

4. Come, Follow Me Coloring Pages for Children

Each month, we offer 5 additional coloring pages that correspond with the scriptures you'll be studying that month. These are designed for younger children that cannot read yet, but are fun for everyone! Use them during your study time, throw them in your Sunday bag for your little ones to color during Sacrament meeting, or use them in your Primary classes!
 

5. Home Centered Singing Time Packets

Our song packets contain images and phrases, along with simple games, to help your children learn the Primary songs. We started offering these packets during the pandemic and they were so popular, members wanted us to keep doing them! They contain your favorite Primary song packets, but smaller so they work for families. Put them in a binder and use them over and over! (We will not be adding new songs in 2024 but will keep the entire list up of the 63 song packets we currently have available.)
