Who’s ready for another year of Come, Follow Me?! Well, with already having a year’s worth of material stored neatly in my New Testament Binder, I had to make sure my Book of Mormon Come, Follow Material won’t get mixed up! I am someone who HAS to stay organized. You should see how many folders (physical and digital) I have! Haha! With so many great ideas out there (like Latter Day Parables!), binders are definately necessary!
Now obviously, you can store any of your Come, Follow Me ideas in this year’s binder! I, for one, use my binder to store all my Latter Day Parables stories and its visuals (there’s a story for every week! That’s about 50 stories!). What’s nice about being able to print off the stories is that you can refer back to them during a family home evening lesson with a similar theme (like prayer, keeping the commandments, etc) or you’ll have it ready to go in 4 years! Haha!
Just like the “Come, Follow Me for Individuals and Families” manual, I organized my binder by months. Personally, I used Avery 8-tab Plastic Insertable Dividers and typed up the months on a template the Avery company provides for free. Click here if you have Avery Dividers and want to personalize your dividers. Below, I have a PDF printable document of the months that will fit the 8-tab dividers for you to use for free!
From there, I insert sheet protectors for each week’s ideas I printed out. In my case, I have each week’s Latter Day Parables story in its own protector, along with the visuals that go with that week’s story.
If anyone is doing Latter Day Parables for this year’s Come, Follow Me: Book of Mormon, know that the characters are being used each week. Those characters are stored in the front pocket so they’re always there, easy to find and ready to use. However, some visuals aren’t used as often. You can just store them in the same sheet protector as the story they came with.
Now, every cute binder needs a cover! So I designed a simple one and inserted it in the front! And lucky for you, I am providing a free PDF copy for you to download and print yourself for your own binders!
What ideas have you been using for this year’s Come, Follow Me curriculum? Every family is different and there are so many wonderful resources and ideas available to use! Just make sure you keep everything organized!
I am so excited that I stumbled upon your site. I have twin Sunbeams and I struggle at times with activities for them. I think this will be a great way to share the stories and relate them to my children. THANK YOU!!
