www.christians-in-education.org.uk/resourcereviews/338 This book commends itself as a book of three Christmas plays, aimed at the youngest of our children, which can be performed with a minimum of fuss and manageable preparation. The stories are told with the suggestion that adults (or very competent older children) should read the parts of the narrators, with the young children miming the action and singing the songs with the audience joining in the singing. The songs all use the tunes of nursery rhymes and have newly written words to fit the story e.g. Mary's Song sung to the tune of 'London Bridge is Falling Down'. Illustrated photocopiable pages of song words are given with the suggestion that they could be put on acetate or made into booklets. The book includes simple music scores and craft templates including animal masks and crib figures. This book is a wonderful resource for pre-school and KS1 teachers and also for church groups who rarely have a full complement of actors until the day of the play -- the numbers of those acting is infinitely flexible. This is a book that I will be passing on to my vicar, our pre-school leader and my KS1 manager. I rather suspect that they will be fighting over it!

Product Description
One of the biggest problems faced by teachers working with very young children at Christmas is how to involve pre-readers in the nativity play with the minimum of fuss and manageable preparation. This book offers three very diverse plays, each telling the story of the first Christmas from a different perspective, using well known nursery rhyme tunes to bring the storyline to life. Simple directions, props and costumes ensure that the children are given the opportunity to participate fully in the performance. The material has been field tested with reception age children, and the book includes music notation and photocopy permission.

I run a pre school for 3 & 4 year old children and was looking for a nativity play. This book was fabulous. All of the song tunes are nursery rhymes so the children are familiar with them already and they learn't them very quicly. It was really easy to follow, had photocopiable pages for you to send home for the kids and music for my piano player! The children really enjoyed doing it and the parents were amazed. A great buy I would thoroughly recommend.

A brilliant book. I have used it as part of the nativity service at church for the last four years. The adults love it. I have also used the craft pages with the children at the play and stay to make a nativity. Excellent.

My junior class love this. We are doing it for our Christmas show this year and they cannot wait to perform for the parents. The songs are catchy so easy to learn. The words are separate at the back of the book and there are the basic music notes for the songs too! Great value!
