We have multiple lessons for a variety of ages in our digital subscription to help you find what works best for your family. Our goal is to help families come closer to Christ and we’ve worked really hard on providing more options to help families implement Come Follow Me in their home.
Enjoy these simple activities during this Christmas season.
We know Christmas can get busy with get togethers, family time and other events. So we have made a simple lesson plan this week that you can do in one night, or spread over the week to help you celebrate Christmas.
Read the story “Teach the Children.” Learn about the symbols of Christmas we see all around us at Christmas time and how they relate to Christ. Use the ornaments as you learn about each symbol and discuss each name of Christ.
Roll two dice and sing the song on the corresponding star. Mark the star with a little candy, cereal, sticker, or other small object. Continue rolling and singing until all the stars are covered.
Print, cut, and tape or glue each nativity finger puppet. Use the finger puppets to act out the Christmas story from memory or as you read the Christmas story from Luke 2.
Each week the Come Follow Me Teen Lesson includes 4 discussion questions, a challenge, QR code to a video made by experienced Seminary teachers, and a scripture print to print off and display.
The merry mail will only be available in your account during the current month, December 1st-31st.
If you currently have a Come Follow Me FHE lesson subscription you can access the materials by logging into your account, click on “My Account” and then click on “Downloads.” If you don’t have a subscription you can purchase one by clicking on the subscribe tab on the top left corner.

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
