‘What a fantastic show! I did this with Y1,Y2 and Y3 (180 children) and it worked beautifully. On the last night we got a standing ovation! I am not musical at all but the CD was really helpful and the children learned the songs easily. ’  - KG, UK.

Product Description

This delightful nativity for 4 to 8 year olds establishes the link between Christmas and Jesus's birthday with 8 easy to learn catchy songs.

The story follows a group of children making a birthday card for Jesus, each child suggesting an idea to add to the card. As each new idea is created a tableau is acted out including songs and dance if required.

The show concludes with the traditional nativity scene. This easily adaptable show can be performed by a small number of children or as many as you wish in about 35 to 40 minutes.

A BRAND NEW product called "Sing it!" is available for this musical. This CD-ROM can teach the songs to the children without any teacher input. Children can use it at school or at home (think of the time it will save you!). Most schools use it in class on an interactive white board or in the school hall on the overhead projector to allow full cast practice. This latest version allows Lyrics on or off, Vocals on or off and the facility to practise one line at a time - all features are accessible instantly with one click. Children LOVE learning this way and the product is foolproof.

Another new product is AudioScript, an "Audio Book" style read-through of the entire show performed by professional voice actors. The AudioScript is supplied on a CD and teaches each child their lines, when to perform them and most importantly, HOW to perform them. The copy and repeat method is simply the best and quickest way to learn. You can listen to a sample of the AudioScript product in the "Contents/Songlist" section below.
