Sunday Kids Activities for Come Follow Me 7/22
- Do this week’s free activity pages from Color Me Christian (or do them in the workbook if you purchased it from Amazon).
- Read Alma Teaches How to Pray and do the accompanying coloring page.
- Watch the video “Reclaimed“
- Read Michael John U. Teh, “Our Personal Savior,” Liahona, May 2021, 99–101.

- Read David A. Bednar “If Ye Had Known Me,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2016, 104.
- Read Alma 33:3–17. Zenos and Zenock lived in the times of the Old Testament, and their words were on the brass plates that Nephi got, but we don’t have them in our Old Testament. Why not? The Bible doesn’t have everything that every prophet ever said, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t scripture or important. It just doesn’t have everything we need. This is why it’s important to have the Book of Mormon, the Bible, and a living prophet. Do the Coloring Page: “I Love the Bible!”
- Do this activity: “Faith in Jesus Christ”. Make a path through your home that includes objects representing how you show and grow your faith in Jesus Christ.
- Color-by-number “Faith Is Like a Seed”
- Action poem “Faith Is like a Seed”
- Plant seeds and watch them grow according to this “Seeds of Faith” activity
- Make this booklet that shows how faith is like a seed
- Search the scriptures to learn more about prayer using this treasure map. Includes a message by President Eyring.
- Draw a picture of Alma’s teachings on how faith is like a seed.
- Draw a tree on a poster, and let the children add a leaf or a fruit every time they think of something they can do to help their faith in Jesus Christ grow throughout the week.
