Family Home Evening for Come Follow Me 2/26 for Kids
Song
Learn this new song “Isaiah Says” from the October 2012 Friend magazine.
Scripture
Lesson
- Engraving on metal plates is not easy, and space on Nephi’s small plates was limited. So why would Nephi make the effort of copying so many of the writings of the prophet Isaiah into his record?
- He did it because he wanted us to believe in Jesus Christ.
- Nephi had seen what would happen to his people in future generations, and he knew the words of Isaiah would help us.
- Isaiah’s words can be hard to understand for us because we don’t know the people or places he talks about. But there are three things we can do to understand better:
- “Liken” Isaiah’s words to us.
- Look for symbols of Jesus.
- Be filled with the “spirit of prophecy,” which is the Holy Ghost.
- We will talk more about these this week and use them to help understand Isaiah’s words.
Activity
Treat
Golden plates cake (or use graham crackers for something easier)

Are these Come Follow Me 2/26 ideas for children useful for you? If so, please share on Pinterest or Facebook!
Thank you for these ideas! Please keep sharing them, I’ll try my best to share them on my FB, even though I don’t have much traction, lol. But hope you know you’re benefitting the lives of many by sharing, keep it up and I’ll keep following along!
Wow, thank you so much for sharing and for your kind words!! <3 It's really encouraging to know that these are of use to other families, too, and not just our own.
This is amazing! You are amazing! I love this site, am so grateful that it’s free! I can’t believe that people charge for other websites with come follow me materials…seems like Priestcraft if you ask me. Anyways, thank you for providing, I am sharing on my Ward’s Facebook page!!
Oh, you’re welcome! Well, it can be pretty time-consuming, especially the people that make so many worksheets, printables, etc. from scratch. It’s more that they are charging for their time, if that makes sense. But since we’re linking to things from the Friend magazine, etc, then it’s a lot less demanding on time. Plus, we started doing this for ourselves and made it available to others as a way to keep ourselves accountable and force us to do it! 😉
