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.

Fantastic!
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.
Nursery Rhyme Nativities
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.
