Come Follow Me 6/3/2024 – Devotionals & FHE for Children

Sunday Ideas for Kids for Come Follow Me 6/3

Use Sundays for a time of reflection; share what you discussed that day in each of your classes.  Did you learn anything new or hear a different perspective about what you studied this week?

If you went to a class that did not use the Come, Follow Me 6/3 Manual, then share what stood out to you the most in your class.

Take a few minutes to talk about what parts of Sacrament Meeting you felt like were meant for you

If your younger children are struggling during Sacrament Meeting, try using these Ideas and Activities to Keep Toddlers and Kids Quiet During Church

Here are some activities that go along with this week’s topic in Come Follow Me 6/3

Sunday Kids Activities for Come Follow Me 6/3

• Do this week’s free activity pages from Color Me Christian (or do them in the workbook if you purchased it from Amazon).
• Watch the Religious Freedom Videos that you didn’t watch during FHE.
• Read Dallin H. Oaks, “Love Your Enemies,” Liahona, Nov. 2020, 26–29.
• Watch “Chapter 20: Alma and Nehor,” Book of Mormon Stories, 54–55.
• Read Gary E. Stevenson, “Nourishing and Bearing Your Testimony,” Liahona, Nov. 2022, 111–14
• How can we avoid being a “stumbling-block to those who [do] not belong to the church”? (Alma 4:10). It might also be useful to talk about how we can make sure the actions of others, particularly fellow Church members, do not become stumbling blocks for our spiritual progress.
• To help your family understand the power of testimony, you could ask them to think of a time when hearing someone’s testimony affected them deeply. Why might Alma have chosen to use testimony and the word of God to touch the hearts of the people? (see also Alma 31:5). Why is this more effective than other methods people might use to persuade others to change? Are there people whose faith we could strengthen by sharing our testimonies with them?
• What things or experiences have “awakened [us] to a remembrance of [our] duty” toward God? (Alma 4:3). Maybe it would be effective to share these verses after waking your family in the morning. You might then discuss how the challenges of waking up physically help us understand the challenges of waking up spiritually.
• “‘Bean’ Kind” (October 2015 Friend). Use dried beans to see how far kindness can reach.
• “Words Matter” (October 2019 Friend). Trace your finger along the lines to see how the words you say can make others feel.
• “Article of Faith 12” (November 2011 Friend). A fill-in-the-blank activity about the place where you live.
• Coloring Page: “My family and I can serve others.”
• What message did the Amlicites want to communicate when they “set [a] mark upon themselves”? (see Alma 3:4, 13). What messages might we send—intentionally or unintentionally—with our appearance? This might be a good time to review “Dress and Appearance” in For the Strength of Youth (2011), 6–8.
• “Article of Faith 2” (February 2011 Friend). “Article of Faith 2” (February 2011 Friend)
• “If the Savior Stood Beside Me” (March 2008 Friend). Includes instructions for a diorama about following the example of Jesus Christ.
• “Kindness Flowers” (November 2019 Friend). A kindness game you can play with a friend or family member. It’s like the game hangman but a lot friendlier!
• “I Have a Family and Friends” (May 1989 Friend). Play this game with your family or your friends to remind you of ways that you can show your love for each other and help each other to be happy and live the gospel.
• Sing together a song about love and service, such as “Kindness Begins with Me” (Children’s Songbook, 145), and help the children think of actions that could go with the song.
• Watch the video “Apostle Testimony Montage”  Ask the children how they felt watching the video, and explain that they can help others feel the same way by bearing their own testimonies.
