This is a simple nativity story with songs changed from original nursery rhymes to fit in with the story of the first christmas.
Includes the original story of the birth of Jesus but also finishes with some ways in which we celebrate christmas today such as eating christmas pudding and decorating our houses.
Includes songs such as:
Twinkle, twinkle christmas star.
Wind the tinsel up.
Baa baa shepherds sheep
3 wise men (3 blind mice tune)
etc.,
Some simple talking parts and narrator could be split between more confident children or narrated by an adult.
39 speaking parts, approximtely 15 non-speaking parts plus dance troupe and choir - these can be edited to suit your school.
Lasts approximately 45 minutes.
Ideal for KS2.
Option for inserting your own song choices - I began with some well loved Chistmas carols and then used more traditions Christmas hymns/carols throughout the play script.
This really warmed the hearts of our audiences and even brought a tear to some eyes!
Quite a traditional play script as written for a C of E primary, but without being too dry.
Opportunity to personalise some parts to your school too.
Very easy to follow. Everyone can get involved and have a great time!
This version incorporates traditional carols and modern Chirstmas songs. In our version the reception class will build up the tableau and the Year 6 pupils will be the narrators. Just wanted to add that this was a very successful evening, and it was great to have the parents singing also during the 'performance'.
2 LESSONS - ADVENT + THE NATIVITY - 2 hours of detailed and well differentiated lessons on created for KS3, but could easily be adapted as everything is left editable. The pack includes PowerPoints, worksheets, clips and engaging activities to explore the entire Christmas story and the weeks leading up to Christmas Day.
