Come, Follow Me Activities

For home evening or scripture study—or just for fun!

January 29–February 4

Liahona Hints

Illustrations by Katy Dockrill

For 1 Nephi 16–22

The Liahona guided Nephi’s family to the promised land (see 1 Nephi 18:21–23). Have one person hide an object. Everyone else takes turns asking the hider yes-or-no questions to find the object together.

For younger children: Have your child hide an object. Ask them to give you hints about where it is by saying “hotter“ when you get closer and “colder“ when you get farther away.

February 5–11

Opposites in All Things

For 2 Nephi 1–2

Lehi taught that having both good and bad times is part of God’s plan for us on earth (see 2 Nephi 2:11). Write down words with opposites (like “tall” and “short”) on pieces of paper and put them in a bowl. Take turns reading the papers. See who can guess the opposite of each word the fastest!

For younger children: Having opposites in life is good. Turn a light on and off. Explain how the light helps us see and the dark helps us sleep. We need both to be happy.

February 12–18

Scripture Teamwork

For 2 Nephi 3–5

The Book of Mormon and the Bible work together to teach us about Jesus Christ (see 2 Nephi 3:12). Play a game about working together! Have one person crumple up pieces of paper into balls and throw them in a bowl. Have another person try to stop the papers from going in. Now try it with two people throwing papers. Which time was it easier to get papers in the bowl?

For younger children: The Bible and Book of Mormon both teach about Jesus Christ. Draw a picture of Jesus together.

February 19–25

Bouncy-Ball Blessings

For 2 Nephi 6–10

Jacob said we can be happy because of the blessings Heavenly Father gives us (see 2 Nephi 9:3). Bounce a ball back and forth. When it’s your turn to bounce the ball, say a blessing Heavenly Father has given you. Keep going as long as you can!

For younger children: Pick up your children and lift them into the air. Talk about how Jesus Christ can make our hearts happy and light.
