Three retellings of the Nativity story - especially designed to lead young children through successful impromptu musical performances. The ideal solution for an end-of-term celebration in class or in front of parents.
Includes well-known traditional tunes, new words to well-known tunes, plus some fun and easy original songs.
Each mini-musical is 15-20 minutes long.
The stories:
Christmas Eve in the Toy Shop
All seems quiet and still in the Toy Shop. But when the clock chimes midnight, Big Ted and his toy friends come to life. They have no presents to give the Baby Jesus, so instead, the dollies dance, the trains chuff, the jack-in-the-boxes jump, and the clowns flop about for him. But what will Shy Rabbit do?
Listen to the music:
Born in Bethlehem
'The road goes up, the road goes down - all the way to Bethlehem town!' Clip-clop with Mary and Joseph on their special journey, sing with the Angels and Shepherds and follow the silver star in this charming telling of the traditional Nativity story.
