2024 KS2 adaptable Christmas Play

‘Christmas Memories’ was the play that I wrote for last year. It was based on many of my childhood memories, along with those as my children grew up. It showed the children the comparisons of Christmases from then to now, but always with the same celebrations, joy and humour and as I usually try to do, a moral message too.
As with many Primary schools, the focus at Christmas tends to be the KS1 Natvity, but what happens about the children in KS2? So I wrote my own, much to the appreciation of the parents.
I started writing my own plays as those on offer were pretty expensive and I ended up adapting them to accommdate the whole of our junior children - yes, we are quite a small primary school, so this play can be done as a whole class. I hope you enjoy it. I hope you like it :)
