We have multiple Come Follow Me subscriptions and multiple activities in each 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 achieve our goal.
Show your children a picture of pioneers moving west. Teach them that they had to pack up all of their belongings, pack them in a covered wagon, and walk across the plains to build a new home in the Salt Lake Valley. Act out moving west by packing a back and going on walk. Sing “Covered Wagons” (Children’s Songbook page 221) and “Little Pioneer Children” (Children’s Songbook page 216). Read D&C 136:5 and color the pioneer coloring page. Then make a wagon snack with your child. Use the QR code on your lesson page for instructions.
Use the “Covered Wagon Craft” and make a covered wagon. Discuss as a family what you would have put in your covered wagon back then or what you would put in your covered wagon today.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Read D&C 138:18-38. Focus on how everyone will have the opportunity to hear the gospel. Hide the “Children Around The World Print” somewhere in the room. Sing missionary songs as the children hunt for the picture. As they get closer to the picture, sing louder. When they move farther from the picture, sing quieter. After each child has a turn, explain just like we had to listen to the song to find the picture, all children will have the opportunity to listen to and accept the gospel.
Read D&C 137. Make the “Celestial Kingdom Booklet” to help you study and review the things you learned. Use the QR code on your lesson plan page for instructions on how to cut and fold the mini book.
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, November 1st-30th.

Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, but he found that once they were in the wilderness, it wasn’t so easy to take Egypt out of the Israelites. Even with the many miracles and signs the people had witnessed, they still wanted to return to a life of slavery with every hardship they encountered. If the Israelites were to be the Lord’s chosen people, this could not be.
How did Moses prepare the Israelites to make covenants with the Lord? We read in Exodus 25 that God gave commandments to His people to help them be ready for greater covenant blessings when He would “dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). Even though the Israelites struggled to keep these commandments, they were eventually blessed as they remained true to the Lord. We will also receive all promised blessings as we live our lives in faithfulness.
Following the 10 Plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, you would think that the Israelites were in a powerful place spiritually. They had seen incredible miracles and had sure witnesses that the Lord was with them. Yet, upon facing a shortage of food and water, the people were willing to abandon everything God had done for them and return to slavery: “Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt… when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness” (Exodus 16:3).
