Come, Follow Me Activities

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

May 27–June 2

Goodness of God Coloring

For Mosiah 25–28

King Mosiah read his people stories about how God had blessed Alma’s people. When they heard the stories, they thought about the “immediate goodness of God” (Mosiah 25:10). Ask your parents and grandparents about how God has been good to your family. Draw pictures of favorite stories you hear.

For younger children: Do the coloring page on page 48. While you color, talk about ways we can feel Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ’s love.

June 3–9

Baptism Bookmark

For Mosiah 29–Alma 4

Alma baptized many people. When they were baptized, they joined the Church of God (Alma 4:5). Make a baptism bookmark! Cut out a small rectangular piece of paper. Draw someone getting baptized on one side. On the other side, write down scripture verses you find that teach about baptism. Use your baptism bookmark for your scripture reading.

For younger children: Sing or listen to the song “Baptism” (Children’s Songbook, 100). Every time you hear the words “baptism” or “Jesus,” stand up.

June 10–16

Shepherd Tag

For Alma 5–7

Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd, and He wants us to come to Him (see Alma 5:38). Play a game of shepherd tag! The person who is “it” is the shepherd gathering sheep. When the shepherd tags someone, they follow the shepherd. Once everyone is tagged, play again with a new shepherd!

For younger children: Jesus is like a shepherd, and He calls us to come to Him. Have someone hide and call out your little one’s name. Then have your child look to find them.

June 17–23

Speedy Singing

For Alma 8–12

When an angel told Alma to go teach the people, Alma went “speedily” (Alma 8:18). Talk about how you can speedily follow God’s commandments. Then sing “Choose the Right Way” (Children’s Songbook, 160). The first time, sing the song slowly. Then sing it again, faster and faster. How fast can you sing it?

For younger children: Give your little ones a simple action to do, like jumping, touching their toes, or spinning around. Invite them to try doing the action faster and faster. Then talk about how we can be speedy to follow God.

June 24–30

Scripture Stories

For Alma 13–16

Alma and Amulek taught people to look to Jesus Christ and repent (Alma 13:16). Read the story on page 26 to learn more about Alma and Amulek. How did God help them? How does He help you?

For younger children: Look at the painting of Jesus Christ on page 49. Talk about what it would be like to see Him!
