Looking for Answers about Barnabas for Children Easy Way to Christmas Plays?

Easy Ways to Christmas Plays contains three simple yet effective nativity plays suitable for use with groups of mixed ages:

• Come to my party!
• The Star who couldn't twinkle
• Shine your lights!

In order to minimize complicated entries and exits for younger children, each play is designed to allow all of the children to stay on stage throughout the performance.

All of the children are involved in actions, mimes and songs throughout the play, with the speaking parts designed for older children in the group.

Each play is preceded by a complete story version of the play (featuring black and white line drawings), designed to be told to the group as an introduction to the play itself.

The story is followed by a five-week countdown to the performance, with hints, activities and scripts for each week running up to the performance. Suggested stage positions are included.

Photocopy permission is included for the scripts and for all worksheets.
