Update: The assigned chapters changed a little from 4 years ago. If you would like an activity about Nephi forgiving his brothers (Nephi 7) check out last week's posts found here.

This week for Come Follow Me we are covering 1 Nephi 8-10. I decided to focus on Chapter 8-Lehi's Dream. There are tons of Free printables that you can find at the end of this post. These are great for families and primary classes!
First i want to share a great link I found in the Friend. Its a simplified version of the story. This is really great for little ones. (Find it Here)
Another option is to watch some of the great video linked in the Individual and Family manual.
The First idea I had was to have your family draw the different parts of the story as you read it. You can use the page below or your own paper. Another fun idea would be to pull out the colored paper, glue, and scissors and create a picture with your craft supplies. Painting it would be a lot of fun too!
In the primary manual one of the ideas is to teach about the tree representing God's love for us it by showing pictures of some of the things he gave us. I created this cute coloring page to go along with this idea. I made one with some different images representing some of the things he has given us and another blank one so they can draw their own.
This week's lesson doesn't go over the interpretation of Lehi's dream (that's is in next weeks chapters.). However, I did create this little match game in case you wanted to teach it all at once. Or save this one for next week :) The images are the same so even the little ones can play. As you find a match read the two words to help your family learn the meaning. Print the two pages on cardstock (if you don't have cardstock its a good idea to glue the cards to colored paper or something so you can't see through it.) *The wording came from The Friend.
I included the scripture sequencing cards again. Cut out only the page with the pictures. Use them to retell the story. If follow right along with chapter 8. I did not have room to include Laman and Lemuel so I was going to mention they did not come with card #3. If you need more details for these let me know. I did inlcude a black and white option. I know there are several of you that love to use those ones :)
These last few ideas go with the New Era article by President Boyd K. Packer that was mentioned in the manual. You can find the article here. I would encourage you to read this it is so good! I am printing a copy for my older two girls for their personal study this week. Here's is a quote I included from this that you can display or talk about.
In the article he gives several things that will help us hold on tight to the iron rod. I thought it would be cute to create your own iron rod for you family to hold on to this week. I plan to use yarn and tie it from one end of my house to the other (in a straight line). Then I am going to tape these cute posters on the wall following our path (spaced apart). The we are all going to hold on the the "rod" and walk. As we get to each sign we will stop and talk about ways that action will help us keep our grip strong. Once we are done we are going to eat some sort of fruit treat or pretzels. I haven't decided yet :)
Another idea is to hide this little circles around the house for your kids to find. Gather them up and glue to the board. This makes for a really cute display. OR use velcro or something similar so they can do it over and over again.
For this weeks journaling page we are going to take some of those ideas and draw or write one or two ways that we can hold to the rod. Use the empty space on the page for your writing or drawing. There are two style. One is just the iron rod and tree and the other has a kid that they can color to look like them. There are 4 different kid options.
That's all for this week. Thank you so much for stopping by. As always if you have any questions or trouble with the download please let me know :)
Than you! My kids loved the sequence cards from last week! I'm super excited to use some of these this week. You are the best!
