Here are a few free Come Follow Me Lesson Helps for June 24-30 covering Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20-21.   The download is available at the bottom of this post.  If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Print the board game, Sheep, and grass cards. Cut the sheep and the mouth out.  Glue to a box or a bag and cut the mouth shape out.  Cut the grass cards apart.  After you read John 21 discuss what Jesus meant when he said "feed my sheep"  Use a button (or any game piece) for each person.  Roll a dice and move the correct number of spaces.  If you land on a grass piece share a way you can "feed Jesus's sheep".  You can write it on the back of the grass card or just share it.  Feed the card to the sheep.  The first person to the barn wins.  Try to do a few of the ideas you came up with during the week.

In this chapter Jesus calls Simon by name and asks if he loves him and gives the instruction to feed his sheep.  Our Savior asks us the same thing.  For this coloring page have your kids write their name on the line and talk about ways you can feed his sheep.

This is from last General Conference.  I loved this analogy and think its a great way to teach about the atonement.  After gather some supplies and make a parachute!  I think this idea looks fun.

This is a fun object lesson to teach about the Resurrection.  Wrap and empty box and attach the gift tag included in the download.  Tell your kids inside the box there is something that represent one of the greatest gifts we've ever been given.  When they open the box and find it empty talk about the empty tomb and the gift the Savior gave to us.

You can use these puppets to retell the story.  Attach a brad to the rock and connect to the tomb so you can roll it open and closed.  I also included a smaller set that the kids can color and create their own.

These cards can be used in a couple different ways to teach about the experience of those that saw Jesus after he was Resurrected.  I thought it would be fun to play a guessing game for example give clues to help them guess what person/people you are talking about.  Another idea would be to pass out a person to each family member (or group) and have them read about that persons experience.  Then share what they learned with the group.

After learning about Thomas's experience talk about what it means to have faith.  How do we have faith in Jesus even though we can not see him?  You can use this coloring page to draw or write ways we can feel our Saviors love.
