About Knock, Knock! The Nativity
From the writing team that bought you the best-selling The Twinkly Nativity and The Big Little Nativity comes this charming new nativity for your 4-7s.
THE SONGS
This exciting new nativity contains seven simple, catchy, smiley songs perfectly written for 4-7 year olds – with a charming, clip-clop, ‘That’ll Be Me!’ donkey song, a fluffy, fun, sheepy-sheep number and a celebratory, everyone's invited finale (and MORE!).
THE STORY
You can expect all the familiar and friendly nativity characters, all on the same exciting adventure, with easy narration, a good dose of rhymes and even the odd ‘knock, knock’ joke to top it all off!
THE EXTRAS
Along with the usual cast list, costume ideas and stage directions, you will also find classroom inspiration — a fabulous page full of creative ideas to bring your learning beyond the stable and into the classroom! We’re also excited to be bringing you all seven songs with Makaton signing videos, thanks to our friends at Singing Hands.
An editable script is available for this product when you purchase a package that includes an eSongbook.

There are speaking parts for 41 plus optional non-speaking parts. These can be increased by having three more shepherds and splitting their lines accordingly. You can also spread the town criers' lines out amongst up to eight town criers. If you have a small cast, the census travellers, town criers, shepherds and innkeepers can be played by the same group. You can have fewer than six innkeepers. You can have as few as three narrators and to make it easier, they could read their lines from a book.
