Family Home Evening for Come Follow Me 4/22 for Kids
Song
Seek the Lord Early (Children’s #108)
Scripture
Lesson
- The last of Jacob’s descendents to have the plates didn’t have a son. He knew King Benjamin, the Nephite king at the time, was righteous, so he passed the plates on to him.

- A few weeks ago, we had General Conference. What did we do to prepare for General Conference?
- This was like the Nephite’s General Conference – what did King Mosiah ask them to do to prepare?
- Listening to church leaders is like listening to Heavenly Father Himself. What else do we do to hear God’s word? (Church, scriptures, prayer, etc.)
- What should we do to prepare ourselves to hear His word?
Activity
Create the setting for King Benjamin’s speech. Make a small tower and let family members take turns reading King Benjamin’s words while standing on it. The rest of the family can listen from inside a makeshift tent.
Treat
Make s’mores like you would if you were camping.
