The Great Christmas Sing-Along – An Original Simple, Joyful School Play
The Great Christmas Sing-Along is a fun, flexible Christmas play designed to be easy to stage and perfect for primary schools, early years, or groups looking for a low-stress festive performance. The play centres around a team of enthusiastic narrators, meaning pupils can read lines from cue cards if needed. Ideal for younger children or classes short on rehearsal time.
Plot Summary:
Something’s gone wrong at the North Pole! The elves have been so busy making toys that they’ve forgotten to spread Christmas cheer and without it, Santa’s sleigh won’t fly!
