Here are some activities that go along with this week’s topic in Come Follow Me 2/24:

- Play this Restoration matching game
- Sing a song with the children about loving all people, such as “I’ll Walk with You” or “We Are Different” (Children’s Songbook, 140–41, 263). Point out words or phrases in the song that you feel reinforce the message of 2 Nephi 26:33.
- Help your children put together a simple puzzle or build something with blocks. Give them one puzzle piece or one block at a time, and while they are building, explain that this is the way Heavenly Father teaches us—one truth at a time. Read 2 Nephi 28:30 together. What would happen if we tried to put all of the pieces together at once?
- Talk with your children about times when they have invited friends or family to come to a special event, like a birthday celebration. What did they do to encourage people to come? Read 2 Nephi 26:23–28, 33, and help them find what the Lord is inviting us to do. Ask them to create a card or letter inviting someone to come unto Jesus Christ.
- Show your children a map of the world, and help them match the Book of Mormon and the Bible with the part of the world it came from. Read and discuss 2 Nephi 29:8. Why did God give us two “testimonies” or books of scripture that teach us about Him?
