October 18 – October 24 Come Follow Me Lesson for Kids: Oh God, Where Art Thou

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.

Toddler Come Follow Me Activity

Look at a picture of a flower garden and point out all the different kinds of flowers. Relate this to friendship. Each friend is different but each one makes our lives more beautiful. Joseph Smith had friends that blessed his life. Read D&C 121:9. Cut out the “Friendship Garden Flowers.” Help your child color and decorate each flower. Write a friend’s name on each one, glue a popsicle stick to the back, and place the flowers in a jar. Share your thoughts about having good friends and how they have helped you or made your life more beautiful.

SURPRISE ACTIVITY:

Read D&C 121:1-8, 122:5-9, and 123:17. Discuss how Joseph Smith felt like everything was going wrong for him and the saints. Christ was there for them in their trials and they all overcame their hard times. Use the “Liberty Jail Object Lesson” to help teach this principle. For the object lesson you will need a ping pong ball, dried beans, and a tall jar or container. Place the ball (representing us) in the jar. Next pour the dried beans in the container on top of the ball. As you do so talk about trials Joseph Smith and the saints were going through or some trials that your family is experiencing. As the beans cover the ball explain that sometimes we feel like we are drowning and all we can see are the hardships. Begin moving the container side to side. As you do so the ping pong ball will move to the top. Explain that as we rely on the Lord, He will help us find joy in our trials and rise above the hardships.
