Works for any age Review by Fran

We used this for church last year with a group of children age 2 to 10. For church we don't have as much practice time as a school might have, so we need songs that are easy to learn hence the KS1 and nursery plays are suitable but the advantage of this particular nativity story is that it will work with any age group. I have seen it done beautifully by a playgroup, but the role of the innkeeper works well as a character role for an older child.
This play has all the elements of a traditional nativity, so was ideal for our crib service at church, and everyone (we have about 15 children in Sunday school) had at least one line to say. If you have more than that you can always add more travellers and more shepherds, who could either say a line together or you could add a few extra lines, so that everyone gets a chance to say something, or share the narrators part across several children.

This is a good one to start without mentioning christmas too early! We linked it into healthy eating / breakfasts. It was a great success with the pupils taking part and with audiences. I really enjoyed working on this too! (Posted on 27/09/2008)
