Free Come Follow Me August 17-23, The Lord is... Psalms 23-28, The Lord is my shepherd, weeping for a night, Be still and know that I am God


The Lord offers me peace, strength, and guidance.

  • Consider writing The Lord is … Invite your children to look for ways to complete that sentence using scriptures like these: Psalms 23:1; 27:1; 28:1; 28:7; 32:7; 46:1. What do these verses teach us about how the Lord can help us?














Psalms Bingo!

Covers all the scriptures in the lesson.



About the bad reviews. The person who said these were too small got a complete refund. I'm not sure why she was even allowed to write a review. I've done a lot of Bingo games, and no one has ever said that before. The other one is very random; I didn't get a message or anything, just weird. If you are pleased with your purchase, I would appreciate it if you could leave a kind review. Here is a picture of the Bingo cards so you know their size.












  • You could discuss with your children what a lamb needs to be safe and healthy. Then, as you read together Psalm 23, help your children compare what a shepherd does for a lamb with what Jesus does for us. What do we need to be spiritually safe and healthy? Sing together a song that could give them ideas, such as “I Feel My Savior’s Love” (Children’s Songbook, 74–75).


This is a song from the Primary Children's Book that isn't sung very often.

I've turned it into a flip page.

To enter the temple, we need “clean hands, and a pure heart.”

  • As you read Psalm 24:3 together, your children could look for words that remind them of the temple. They could also look at a picture of a temple. Then you could read together verse 4 to learn who can enter the temple. You could talk about how hands get dirty and how we clean them. How do we get spiritually dirty? How does the Savior help clean us spiritually?




Jesus Christ can turn sadness into joy.

  • If you have young children, you could invite them to pretend to cry while you read from Psalm 30:5, “Weeping may endure for a night.” Then ask them to express joy as you read, “But joy cometh in the morning.” Repeat this phrase a few times. Elder Ronald A. Rasband quoted this verse in “He Is Risen” (Liahona, May 2026, 75). Help your children find the verse in his message and discover what brought Elder Rasband joy.

  • Show a picture of the Savior, and tell your children what He has done for you that brings you joy. You could also give each child a turn to hold the picture and share what Jesus has done that brings them joy.




“Be still, and know that I am God.”

  • Help your children memorize the first line from Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am God.” What could it mean to “be still”? Maybe you could spend some time practicing being still. You could also share with each other experiences when being “still” strengthened your relationship with God. Help your children think of times during the day when they can “be still” to feel close to Heavenly Father.

“The heavens declare the glory of God.”

Psalms 19 and 33 teach that we can find evidence of the glory and goodness of God all around us in His beautiful creations. Help the children learn to see God’s hand in the world around them.

Possible Activities

  • Show the children some pictures of beautiful things God has created, or look out a window together to see these things. Ask the children what they love about Heavenly Father’s creations. Read either Psalm 19:1 or 33:5, and ask the children how they feel about Heavenly Father when they see His creations.

Go on a nature walk, and collect little things that you find in God's Earth.

Giving each child their own bag, explaining that whatever they collect, needs to be small enough to fit in it.

Have paper plates available so they and pour out their findings and be able to look through it to see what they want to glue to their page.

Very fun, and great sensory activity.



  • Sing together a song about God’s creations, such as “The World Is So Lovely” (Children’s Songbook, 233). Invite the children to pick something God has created (such as something mentioned in the song) and draw a picture of it to share with their families.


Pass the cards out to the children and have them place the card on the mat/paper as you sing the song and point to them. Then take the blank cards and have the children draw their own pictures and sing the song again, with new words...instead of “the sunshine, the flowers....” You might say “The dinosaurs, the dogs..” whatever the children have chosen to draw. (:

Hi Crystal,


I LOVE everything that you do for us! It is such a great help! You have the BEST ideas! I found another way to print using Paint, but I'm wondering if it's me or is there really something going on with the picture of Jesus and the lambs. When I go to print the pictures in color, they both print with the lambs. I'm not getting the one with the kids.


Thank you for ALL your ideas, creativity, hard work, and help! You are awesome!!

Crystal, I can’t express enough how grateful I am for all your creativity and hard work. I teach Sunday school and substitute in primary and I use your lessons almost every lesson they are so well done and the students are all engaged. I just bought this weeks primary lesson and can’t wait to teach it. There have been 2 times I had a problem with my purchase but the minute I notified you you fixed the problem I have been using your lesson plans for 2 1/2 years


Thank you for all your hard work 💕

I want to use the handout Little Lamb so White and Fair, but the second only prints only in black, not black and white, just full sheet of nothing but black. First page was beautiful. Please advise.
