Free Come Follow Me Activities for Isaiah 13-14, 24-30, & 35

 

This week we are going to focus on Isaiah 25 and how Jesus gives me "refuge from the storm" and protects me. To show this idea, we have activities that compare Jesus to a house, a safe place when it's stormy outside. A home keeps us protected from the elements & storms, just as Jesus keeps us safe from the storms of life. My hope is this will get us all thinking about how Jesus Christ is our safe place during hard times. You can find these activities in the download below.

Free Come Follow Me Lesson Helps: Isaiah 1-12

Hello everyone! I didn't mean to disappear again; I seem to do that a lot. Honestly, I've had the last two weeks lesson helps so close, and then I just didn't have the time or energy to finish them. So sorry! I had my cute missionary leave a month ago, then my kids went back to school (we homeschooled last year, so this was a big adjustment), and then my sweet cousin passed away after a 4 year battle with cancer. It's been a lot, and it's taken me a little bit to find my footing. I'm still trying to, if I'm being completely honest. That was a lot. I guess I really just want to say thanks for being here even when I'm not consistent in posting and sharing :)

This week we started Isaiah! I was a little worried, but I loved studying and learning this week. I decided to focus on repentance and the temple. You can find all of the free activities in the download below. If you have any questions or trouble with the download, please let me know. I hope you find something that works for your family or primary class this week. Let me know what you think (what you were able to use and what you would like to see in future posts). Have a wonderful week!

Free Come Follow Me Activities for Job

This week, we are learning all about Job. I love how much God loved Job and that Job never lost faith in Him. In fact, it was his faith in Jesus Christ that sustained him even when the unimaginable happened. I also love that this is a story of friendship; we see examples of what a good and not-so-good friend looks like. Before it goes bad, his friends did some wonderful things. They came, they sat with him, they mourned with him, and I love that example! 

I had a little bit of a hard time coming up with a way to bring Job's story down to a level that felt age-appropriate for younger ones. You know your kids and what they need, and I hope you find something that works for your family or primary class :) I included activities to help you teach the story and explain that God is with us through the good and hard times. We are also going to talk about what it means to be a good friend and share our testimony of Jesus Christ. This one was a hard one for me, but I have loved studying this book. It was actually a really good week for me to have this on my mind; my daughter just started home MTC yesterday, and I've been struggling a little bit. We can all learn from Job's example :) Also, I'd love to know what you learned this week or what resources you use to study! Have a wonderful week, and thank you for stopping by!

Free Come Follow Me Activities for Esther

This week we are covering one of my favorite stories, Esther. I think it's one of my favorites because my children love to watch the Liken movie, Esther and the King and so its one I am very familiar with. Her story and bravery are truly remarkable. This week as I studied my love for this book grew even more. Here are a few thoughts I had this week while reading and studying these chapters. First, I want to be more like Mordecai! The more I learned about him the more I saw his deep love for Esther, he took her in as his own and continued to love and care for her in anyway he could.   Another thought, in their deepest trial their response was to fast.  Fasting is not just a sign of faith but a sign of hope. The last one is I learned this week is that God is not mentioned anywhere in this book but I there is evidence of Him and His involvemnt is everywhere. He really is in the details of our lives. As you look for Him in your life you will always find him and begin to recognize Him more clearly. 

I am so excited to share these activities with you! We actually have three topics this week, service, bravery, and fasting all centered around the book of Esther.   The instructions are in the download below. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope there is something that works for your family or primary class this week. Have a wonderful week!

Free Come Follow Me Activities Chronicles 14-30

I finally have some new activities for you this week! We have been adding on to our home this past year, and I have been setting up my own little space in the unfinished area. It's not pretty yet but I love it. I keep sneaking away to work and have been having so much fun. It feels good to create again. It made me think of one of my favorite talk by President Uchdorf found here.

Now on to the activities for this week! We are studying Chronicles 14-30, 26, & 30. It was so hard to choose a theme but when I saw President Oak's talk "Alive in Christ"  linked in one of the activities, I knew that was the one. So we are focusing on the very short story of King Hezekiah extending an invitation and being a peacemaker. I included a puzzle hunt, coloring/journal page, and an interactive scenario activity. I hope you are able to find something that works for your family or primary class this week. You can find all of these activities and instructions in the free download below. Thanks for stopping by!

Free Come Follow Me activities for Moses 7

You can find some fun ideas I made four years ago here. 

New Bonus Activities!!!

This week I have a few more fun ideas to keep the theme of being a becoming like the people of Enoch that were of "one heart & one mind." In a fun video we watch for our Come Follow Me family study, the host used the phrase "Trying for Zion." I thought that was a fun way to think about it and move us towards action! As I thought about that phrase the thought that kept coming to me was how can we make our home a little more like Zion or the City of Enoch? The answer I came up with is service and showing others that that we care. Fitting in with this theme I love how the Come Follow Me handout asks the children to write a way they can show love. I included a few fun additional ways to record acts or service this week. Perfect for leading up to Valentine's Day.  

The first couple have big boxes so you can write or draw a picture of something you did to show kindness or love. Another option is to color in a balloon every time you serve (there is room to draw or write as well.) 

The last two activities go with the second idea in the manual under the topic "God wants us to be “of one heart and one mind.” It suggests to "make a paper heart and cut it into pieces, enough for each child (or family member) to have one. Let them write their name on their piece and work together to put the heart together. As they do, you might talk about things you love about each child." This is such a fun and special activity-I included a heart that you can use. Another option to use the heart for is an activity I did with the Primary activity day girls years ago. The idea is to have each person write their name in the middle of the heart. Then tape the paper to the back of your shirt. Go around the room and write something you like/love about that person. Make sure you write on everyone's paper. It is so sweet. This would work for families or a primary class. Last are some little cards that say I love you because...Color and finish the sentence. How cute would this be to leave around the house for different family members.

I hope you have a wonderful week of finding ways to show kindness and love and make your home a little more like Heaven on Earth.

Free Come Follow Me Helps for Moses 1 & Abraham 3

 

This week we are focusing on the topic I am a child of God because that knowledge changes everything.  Elder Hallstrom in 2016 said  "Our most fundamental doctrine includes the knowledge that we are children of a living God. That is why one of His most sacred names is Father—Heavenly Father...This doctrine is so basic, so oft stated, and so instinctively simple that it can seem to be ordinary, when in reality it is among the most extraordinary knowledge we can obtain. A correct understanding of our heavenly heritage is essential to exaltation."

President Nelson also taught, “The way you think about who you really are affects almost every decision you will ever make”

I made this set of activities four years ago and you can Find it Here!

I do have a new bonus activity for you! 

One of the suggestions in the manual is to learn or sing "I Will Follow God's Plan for Me" to help teach "I lived as a spirit before I was born on earth." I have posters, coloring pages, and blank pages for drawing. You can download it below!

Free Come Follow Me ideas for Introduction to The Old Testament

I am so excited to start the new year diving into the Old Testament. Four years ago I was a brand new youth Sunday school teacher and was so scared not only to teach but make sure I understood what I was teaching. While preparing for one of my first lessons I was listening to a podcast and the guest said something along the lines of The Old Testament shows us how much God loves us. It was in that moment I decided to look for God's love as I read every week and guess what...I found it every week! I fell in love with the Old Testament and teaching Sunday School. It might be the best calling :) 

I noticed I did not post much four years ago but I am again going to try my best to keep showing up and sharing as often as I can. Thank you, thank you for every time you stop by. I know there are so many options now to find help with your Come Follow Me lessons and it means so much that you stop by. I hope you have the best New Year and love studying the Old Testament this year.
