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.

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.
