About Hey Ewe!

  • From the same author as our brand-new nativity Baubles!
  • Suitable for a small cast of just 15 or a whole-school production
  • Simple, easy to learn script that is ideal for 4-8 year olds
Seen through the eyes of a particularly excitable and curious sheep, the traditional Christmas story unfolds with humour and charm in this simple but original nativity script. With seven really fun, catchy songs, Hey Ewe! has all the ingredients of a perfect Christmas production.

Of all the sheep in the flock, the smallest, youngest ewe is the most inquisitive. She is always busy getting under the shepherds' feet, asking questions and, to the irritation of the rest of the flock, demanding to know exactly what is going on. One night, however, while all the other sheep are trying to sleep, some extraordinary events unfold that excite her curiosity more than ever before!

With a gospel choir of angels, calypso-ing kings and square-dancing sheep, the Hey Ewe! nativity is an upbeat Christmas musical that will have you tapping your toes and baaing away to all the songs in no time.

Now available with Words on Screen™ allowing you to display song lyrics on any whiteboard, computer screen, television or interactive touchscreen. The lyrics synchronize with the music as it plays making them easy to teach and easy to learn!

An Annual Performance Licence is required to perform this nativity.

I loved doing this

By Holly age 9

I did this play at school it was so much fun and my favourite song is hey you!


Brilliant!

By Church101

Our Sunday school children did this for a nativity as part of the carol service this year. It was brilliant. The adults loved the songs as much as the kids did!


A brilliant play

By Emma

This is an excellent nativity play - the songs are catchy, the play is witty and there is plenty of room to make it your own. It was the first time I did a nativity last year - and it was a roaring success! I had a year 1/2 class and they loved singing and performing it. The parents said - the were all enjoying whatever it was they were doing. Love it!


A Tremendous Success!

By Judith from Dorset

Our reception and pre school children performed, 'Hey Ewe!' as their Christmas production to parents. It was a tremendous success, thanks mainly to your brilliant songs, script and production notes. It was perfectly suited to our age group and a delight to rehearse and perform.


Brilliant fun

By W and O classes

We used Hey Ewe last year with Years 1 - 3. It was a brilliant play and the songs were catchy, funny and highly entertaining. As a church school it was important that the true meaning of Christmas was conveyed. Hey Ewe does this in style.


my class adored this play and the songs are rocking!!

By teacher5

This is a truly wonderful christmas play with superb catchy songs. My only criticism of the out of the ark plays is the challenge for the teacher of finding a part for all the children to play.


Fantastic

By pollyanna

We did it last year with Infants. It stole the show! The songs are very catchy and the children are still singing them...as am I!


Brilliant

By Christmas001
