Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 2 | January 6 – 12 | Doctrine and Covenants 1

The Prophet Joseph was 26 years old when he received the revelation that became the first section of the Doctrine and Covenants. This section serves as an introduction to the sacred record of the Latter-Days and is filled with wisdom from on high.

As the Savior Jesus Christ opened the heavens to the early Saints, He included revelations that would impact “the inhabitants of all the earth” (D&C 1:8). One of these key principles is that when the word of the Lord is spoken, “whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same” (D&C 1:38).

THIS WEEK’S COME FOLLOW ME HIGHLIGHTS​

Elementary Bundle Lessons & Activities​

The lesson for this week is simplified but intentional to focus your thoughts and efforts on the Savior and His birth. We hope you take the time to use the activities provided to incorporate the light of Christ into your lives and into this special season.

Scripture Fill-in-the-Blank

Scripture Study

Go on a scripture scavenger hunt! Hide words from D&C 1:30 around your house. Search for words and complete the Scripture Fill-in-the-Blank. Read it out loud and post the verse somewhere you will see it every day this week. Bonus: try to memorize the verse as a family!

Follow the Prophet Go Fish

Surprise Activity

Brainstorm things the prophet has asked us to do. Reference D&C 1:37-38 and point out how when the prophet speaks to us, it is as if the Lord is speaking. Play Follow the Prophet Go Fish as a family and challenge yourselves to keep these commandments throughout the year.

A Repentant Heart

Coloring Page

Learn the steps to having a repentant heart. Read D&C 1:32, and learn how all mistakes can be forgiven and hearts healed through the power of repentance. You can even cut out the band-aids and place them over the heart on your Repentant Heart coloring page as you discuss the steps.

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams.

This week, we’ll be sharing the gospel with your little ones using the activity book in the Elementary Bundle. Be sure to use the activity book for younger children (Level 1, Recommended for ages 3-6). Print your activity book pages, then cut all of them in half, except the cover. You will fold the cover in half to help keep the pages together. Put all your pages in order inside the cover and then staple along the left-hand edge. Make one book for each of your children.

Searching the Scriptures

Hands-On Activity

Tell your child to listen for the mystery word “SEARCH.” Instruct them that when they hear it to put their finger on their nose. Read D&C 1:37. Ask your child if they have ever searched for something. How did they feel when they found it? Show your child the scriptures and tell them that the scriptures have the word of God and they teach us about ways that we can be happy because God wants us to be happy. Explain that you are going to search for things in the scriptures that can bring happiness. Cut and color the magnifying glass and the pictures of Jesus Christ, the scriptures, the family, the church and the smiley faces, or use the colored version. Optional: tape plastic wrap inside the magnifying glass. Hide the pictures around the house and use the magnifying glass to search for the pictures. Explain that when we search the scriptures we can be happy just like we are happy when we find something we are looking for!

The toddler bundle includes a lesson plan and three activities every week. Grab the toddler bundle in our subscription.

“He Shall Direct Thy Paths”

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a guidebook on how to be a better parent? On how to have less contention in the home? A word or two on having more patience and kindness? The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom given to David, Solomon, and others who sought the guidance of Heaven. Many verses, when read with prayer and real intent, can answer our prayers when we need heavenly guidance in raising our children, such as this one: “A soft answer turneth away wrath” (Proverbs 15:1).

“Let Every Thing That Hath Breath Praise the Lord”

As we continue through Psalms, we are taught that humility is required to recognize God’s personal affection for each of His children.
