Come, Follow Me Lesson: Like the Sun, the Son of God brings Light to The World: As I was doing personal study today, the idea came to me of how to teach my children this concept tonight as we study as a family. So, I thought I'd share it with you too :) This would be a great lesson for family, Primary, or Sunday School. Adapt it to whoever you are teaching or studying with. Come, Follow Me Individual and Family Come, Follow Me Primary Come, Follow Me Sunday School These pictures can be found at lds.org Show family or class members a picture of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Read the following about the Light of Christ, found in the Bible Dictionary, "Light of Christ" . Explain that in our scripture study this week we learn that, Jesus is the light of men. Read the following scripture as a family, John 1:4-9 and/or Joseph Smith Translation John 1:4-9. Explain the following object lesson. Show your class or family a picture of the night. Ask the following question, What is missing in the night? Discuss how the sun is missing in the night, making the night darkened. When the sun rises each morning is gives hope and brings light of a new day. Show the class or family the Sun printable (see free download below). Beforehand cut out the rays of the sun (found on page two of the printables). On each ray of the sun is something the sun provides us with. Explain that like the sun, our Savior, the Son of God, gives us hope each day as well. Invite one of the family members or class members to place the ray with the word hope on it, onto the printable of the sun. Discuss as a family how the Savior gives us hope. Discussion might include, that through him we can gain hope and comfort in our trials, that we can have hope that because of him, this mortal life is not the end. We can have hope that we can overcome sin. Show the ray with the word light. Just as the sun gives light to the day, the Savior gives light to the world. Discuss as a family/class how the Savior gives light to the world. Discussion might include, He is our example. He has lit the path for us, so we can return to our Father in Heaven. He enlightens our minds to truth and the knowledge of spiritual things, bringing the light of the gospel into our lives. Show the ray with the word warmth. The sun gives us warmth during the day, so does the Savior. Discuss as a family how we might feel the warmth of the Savior in our lives. Discussion might include, the warmth that comes from his comforting arms of love. Our Savior loves us, he understands every pain, every inadequacy, and sorrow we will ever feel! He is their to comfort us, bringing a warmth to our soul. Show the ray with the word peace. The sun drives out the darkness and brings peace of a new day to our lives. As does the Savior, the son of God! Discuss with your family/class how the Savior drives out the darkness and bring peace into our own lives. Discussion might include, that through the atonement, we can be forgiven of our sins and find peace in that forgiveness that the Savior offers us. Show the ray with the word, joy. It is proven that the sun increases our feelings of happiness, or joy. The Savior brings joy into our lives through His light. Discuss as a family/class how the Savior brings joy into their lives. Discussion might include that joy comes as we follow Him. We know that His footsteps lead back to our Father and eternal life. Where true happiness and joy are found! Show the ray with the word, strength. Just as the sun strengthens each living things that it shines down upon, so does our Savior. Discuss as a family/class how the Savior gives us strength. Discussion might include, that the Savior strengthens us during our trials, he gives us strength to overcome sin and opposition. He gives us strength to press forward and endure. We can yoke ourselves to him! Explain that the Savior is always there, even in are darkest night. We need to let his light in and shine upon us. How do we do this?? By keeping our covenants. By remembering Him and keeping His commandments. To conclude play "Lift Your Eyes" from the Youth Music Library.

How is everyone's week going? I hope you found some activities to help with your first week of "Come Follow Me." We've been figuring things out over here and enjoying our time together learning more about the Savior. I think the 10 Virgin's parable and game have been a favorite so far (it involves m&m's so who wouldn't like it :) We are also loving the journals. My little kids love gluing in their coloring pages and printables and my 10 year old loves having a special place to write and is also enjoying the fun printables as well. I love having a place to keep notes and some of my favorite scriptures and quotes for the week. You can find both of these activities and much more for week one here. As we are finishing up our lessons for the week I've found a few things that worked for us and a few that didn't. The big one is I over planned for a regular week-I thought that would be the case. We have been able to get to almost everything but with school starting back up again a full lesson almost every day isn't realistic. Here's what I'm thinking we will try this upcoming week: 1 or 2 mini lessons (probably Sunday and FHE Monday) and daily family scripture study where we read and discuss the chapters for the week. I wanted to make a detailed reading schedule with questions to ponder but as I started it just wasn't coming together. I think my favorite thing about this curriculum is the flexibility to study what our families needs. So I don't want to put this time into a little box I can check off but rather see where the Spirit guides our reading and discussions. Okay enough of my rambling :) Here's are some fun lesson helps for the week of January 7-13, Matthew 1, Luke 1. You can find all the printables at the end of this post. Mini Lesson #1: Heavenly Father Answers Our Prayers (find sections in the primary manual & it relates to the section God's blessings come in His own time individual and family) There are so many topics in this lesson but I decided I really want to focus on prayer this week. How to pray, what we can pray for, and how answers and blessing come from Heavenly Father. 1. Prayer Sandwich demo and mini book. I saw this idea years ago and as I was reading through the lesson it popped into my head. Grab some bread, peanut butter, and jelly. Show your kids that a prayer is like a sandwich-top piece of bread (begin by saying "Dear Heavenly Father), add peanut butter-this is when we thank Heavenly Father for all of the things he has given us. Next we add the jelly or ask for things we need. Finally we add the bottom piece of bread-finish "In the name of Jesus Christ Amen." If would be fun to have your kids share some things they can thank and ask for while you make the sandwich. Make a few extra for a yummy snack. Next create a mini prayer sandwich book. Print one for each family member (b&w option included-printing tip i always use my printer in the draft setting to save ink. You do not loose much quality). On the peanut butter and jelly write some things you are thankful for or can ask for. Put it together with a brad, staple, hole punch & string...whatever you have will work. We are going to add these to our journals along with the cute handout that says "How has Heavenly Father answered your prayers?" There is space to draw or write in your answer. This would also be a good time to share a story about a time one of your prayers were answered. UPDATE: I included another print option that will save you on ink and coloring time :) I've divided each "piece of the sandwich" to its own page so you can print it directly on colored paper. Ex. peanut butter on brown paper, Jelly on red or purple paper. You will need to color the edge of the bread but that's it! Words on the sandwich come from the song "I Pray in Faith" Optional activity: Print the activity at the end of the primary lesson. Cut the pieces apart. Print one of the charts (looks like the picture below) that is included in this download. Use the chart to sort the pictures. Mini Lesson #2: With God nothing is impossible. (idea in individual and family-ideas for family scripture study section & primary under teaching older children) 1. Review or act out stories of Elizabeth and Mary -ask what are some things that might seem impossible without God's power? 2. Wordstrips-cut apart and hide the different pieces around the room before you start your lesson. Go on a hunt to find out what the Angel Gabrielle said on this topic. Gather the wordstrips and work together to put the pieces in the correct order. 3. Next we are going to talk about a few other stories where Heavenly Father did something that seemed impossible. 2 ideas: Charades or pictionary-use the cards included to act our to draw some of the stories from the scripture. There are a few blank ones to add your own. Another ideas is to split up into teams, set a timer and as a team write down as many stories or incidents as you can come up with in the set amount of time. Once time is up share the stories you came up with. 4. Read the 1st paragraph under the chapter heading- "From a mortal perspective, it was impossible..." Print and cut out the journal card and answer the question. There is space to draw or write your answer. Printable quotes from the lesson for you or those in your family that would like them :) As I was reading through the lesson these two quotes stood out to me. If you want just the printables right click and save to your computer. You can upload and print from your favorite print shop or paste in a word document, size, and print. I like to do this if I need multiple copies of a print. One of these would be great to share with your ministering sisters :) Scripture Cards: This week for FHE we are going to assign different tasks to family members (I'm sure many of you already do this). We have our FHE board ready to go. The person that has the scripture will be assigned to pick a scripture that will be displayed for the week. One of the large (5x7) scripture cards would be a great place to write and hang on the fridge or where ever you want to place it. The scripture can be from the assigned chapters, from their personal reading (where ever they may be), or a favorite scripture. During FHE they will share the scripture and why they picked it. This is just another way we are trying to place more of an emphasis on scripture study. You can also use the blank cards to write your favorite scriptures or quotes and place in your journal or display. There are 2 styles and 2 sizes. Primary Lesson idea: I might update this after Sunday and figure how much time we will have for the lesson but right now this is my plan :) Review story of Mary-use pictures from the Gospel art book-stop right after Mary asks how can this be? Search for the wordstrips (idea from above) and find out what the Angel Gabriel said. Work together to put the scripture together. Emphasis that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I like the explanation in the section teaching younger kids (1st activity under Jesus Christ is the son of God) Next review or show video clip from lds.org about Elisabeth and Zacharias. Emphasis that Heavenly Father answers our prayers. Share a time he answered one of your prayers. Print the chart from the download (black and white) and the pieces from the coloring activity at the of the primary lesson for each child. Help them cut ,sort, and glue. If time color. If you teach young children have the pieces cut ahead of time.

Here is my flip chart for this Sunday's Primary Singing Time activity. Come Follow Me.pdf I have printed it on card stock in story-book form (on both sides of the paper) and had it laminated and bound on the left side. Introduction: 1. Ask the pianist play through the melody first while the children listen. 2. Explain that this is a very special and sacred hymn about our Savior, Jesus Christ. After they have listened to the melody, ask the children if they recognize the music. 3. Have the pianist play the introduction, and tell the children you are going to sing the words this time. Invite anyone who knows the words to sing along. Use the flip chart to sing the story, and point to the appropriate pictures. a. Compliment the children for singing along with you. 4. Show the children the first picture from the flipchart: a. Tell the following story: One day, Jesus taught from Peter's boat on the Sea of Galilee. Afterward He told Peter to take the boat to deep water and let out the nets to catch fish. Peter explained that he and others had been fishing all night without catching anything, but he said he would do as Jesus commanded. Peter and his brother Andrew caught so many fish that their net began to break. James and John came in another boat to help. The fishermen were all amazed. Jesus called Peter and Andrew to follow Him and become fishers of men. Fishers of men is another way to say ‘missionaries’, because it meant that Jesus wanted them to help bring people to the Gospel. He also called James and John. They all left their boats and nets and followed Jesus and became fishers of men. (Story adapted from the Gospel Art Picture Kit.) b. Sing the first phrase: “Come follow me, the Savior said”, and ask the children to echo it back to you. Sing it again in a whisper, and ask them to sing it back to you in a whisper. Do it again singing very slowly, and again enunciating every syllable. Repeat as many times as needed, until the children have the phrase learned. 5. Show the second picture on the flipchart: a. “Here’s a question: what does ‘tread’ mean?...That’s right! The word, ‘tread’ means to walk along, or to press your foot into something. So when I say ‘I want to tread in Jesus’ footsteps’, what does that mean?...That’s right, it means that I want to put my footprints in Jesus’ footprints, to follow him, just like the children are doing in this picture. They want to follow his example and do all the things he did.” b. “Sometimes when poems or songs are written, the words are very fancy or sophisticated, just like this next phrase, (say it with an air of sophistication) ‘Then let us in His footsteps tread’. It’s not hard to understand it if you think about it, it simply means, ‘Hey, we want to follow Jesus! We want to do what He did! We want to follow His example!’” c. “Everyone say ‘We want to follow Jesus’. Now everyone say, (say it with emphasis on the bold words) ‘Then,…let us in his footsteps,…tread’. Both phrases mean the same thing.” d. Sing the phrase “then let us in His footsteps tread”, and have the children echo sing it back to you, the same as above in step 4b. e. Sing with the children the first two phrases: Come follow me, the Savior said. Then let us in His footsteps tread. 6. Show the third picture in the flip chart: a. “Did you know there is only one way we can return to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ? It’s only through Jesus Christ, by following his example, and obeying the commandments, that make it possible for us to be ‘one’ with Him, and with our Heavenly Father. b. “In the first picture on this page we see these two children looking up at Jesus. They want to be ‘one’ with Jesus. They must follow his path (point to the pathway) and do as he did to become ‘one’ with him.” c. Explain what Jesus is doing in each of the five pictures of Christ on this page, and tell how the children might do the same in their lives. d. "What does 'thus' mean?...That’s right, it simply mean ‘this way’. So when I say, ‘for thus alone’, it just means, ‘this is the only way’. When we sing (sing it) ‘For thus alone can we be one’, it means that following Jesus’ example is the only way we can be one with him." e. Sing the phrase again and have the children echo it back to you, the same as above in step 4b. f. Sing with the children the first three phrases: Come follow me, the Savior said. Then let us in His footsteps tread. For thus alone can we be one. 7. Show the last picture in the flip chart: a. “Who is ‘God’s own loved begotten son’?...That’s right! It’s Jesus Christ. This phrase completes the phrase before it: (sing it) ‘For thus alone can we be one (with emphasis) with God’s own loved begotten Son.’ (Point to the last picture.) b. The children in this picture represent YOU! They want to be one with ‘God’s own begotten Son’, just like you do! c. Sing: “with God’s own loved begotten son”, and have the children echo it back to you, the same as in step 4b. d. With the children, sing: “For thus alone can we be one, with God’s own loved begotten Son” 8. Sing the entire song together with the children, and compliment them for a job well done! If time permits, play: I Can Follow Jesus (Adapted from Shelley Wille's, Keeping Your Kids Awake in Family Home Evening, Book Two, Self Reliance, page 85.) You will need: A small table Slips of paper with ways to follow Jesus’ example in a “Mystery Bag”. Play dough On the slips of paper in the Mystery Bag, write: Scriptures Pray Love Dish Pencil Phone Toy Cookies Bed Footprint Play Dough 2 ½ cups flour ½ cup salt 1 tsp. alum 3 Tbs. oil (add to water) A few drops of food coloring 2 cup water Boil water and oil. Add food coloring. Add other ingredients to boiling water and mix by hand. How to Play: Pick three or four reverent children to come to the table at the front of the room. Give each child a lump of play dough and ask them to set it on the table in front of them, then have each child pick a slip of paper from the Mystery Bag and read silently what it says. (Smaller kids will need you to whisper in their ear what it says on the paper). Ask them to close their eyes and imagine the play dough tuning into the object on their slip of paper. Encourage them concentrate with all their might, and try very hard to visualize the completed object in their minds down to the last detail. After they have given their best effort, have them open their eyes and ask them if the clay actually turned into the object they saw in their imagination. Tell them that no matter how long and hard they think about it, that lump of play dough will never turn into the object they were thinking about on its own. It has to be shaped and molded with our hands! Just like the play dough, we can think and think and think about how much we want to serve others the way Jesus Christ did, but nothing will happen until we use our hands to love and serve others. Explain that everyone is going to sing Come Follow Me. While everyone else is singing, the children at the front with the play dough have exactly as long as it takes to sing the song to form their object with their hands. Sing the song. When it’s over, have the children show their play dough objects and explain how they can be used to follow Jesus Christ's example. If time permits have another group of children form more objects from the Mystery Bag while Come Follow Me is sung. Have Fun!
