2 Jesus Christmas Party Roger Parsley The innkeeper and his wife settle down to sleep after a hectic day, but a stream of visitors keep showing up, asking for Mary and Joseph. Round the back! the innkeeper shouts, gumpily! Eventually, desperate for sleep, he flies into a rage and goes to see what all the fuss is about: it sounds like some kind of party out in the stable! But as soon as he sees newborn baby Jesus, the innkeeper softens and joins in the celebration. Lively entertainment! Age guide: 5-7 & 7-10 years (2 scripts) 8 songs approx 30 mins.

3 A Wriggly Nativity Peter Fardell For children who just can t sit still! A Wriggly Nativity tells the Christmas story almost entirely through catchy songs, actions, movement and dance. Everything is easy to learn, there is very little dialogue, and the narration between songs is brief. The songs have actions for the whole choir, so every child is specifically required NOT to sit still while singing! A Wriggly Nativity demands that every single child, angel or sheep, channels his or her excited energy and squirming enthusiasm into telling the nativity story! Age guide: 3-7 years 9 songs approx 25 mins. Starshine s musical productions are enjoyed A Wriggly Nativity Peter Fardell Nativity

4 A Little Nativity John & Ruth Kenward Exceptionally easy to produce and very sweet, this is the perfect answer for those wanting to re-tell the Nativity story in a direct and simple way that even the youngest may understand. It s Christmas Eve and none of the children want to go to bed! Can we have a story? they ask Mum and Dad (who if it s a large cast have a LOT of children!) Please tell us a story! they beg. What follows is a simple telling of the Nativity story through songs (which have plenty of actions). The Nativity is acted out during the songs, after each of which the children ask What happened next? Mum and Dad take the story forward into the next song, and so it goes on, until it really is time for bed! Age guide: 3-6 years 8 short songs (+1 optional extra) with actions. approx 20 mins.
