Children's Nativity Story Script

My Children’s Nativity Story script

is, in the words of a customer….

“A nice mixture of traditional with a contemporary twist!” ”
Rev Victoria Linford, Scotland

As a poet who loves rhyme and rhythm, my Children’s Nativity Story is written entirely in rhyme, including the narration, and the speaking parts. It has been used in preschool, primary schools and churches across the world, and all of the feedback that you have read on the home page is relating specifically to it.

Tell me about the Children’s Nativity Story specifically….

In a nutshell, this nativity play tells the traditional, bible based nativity story in a fun way, using:-

  • Lots of humour
  • Short, rhyming speaking parts to make everyone feel special.
  • Rhyming narration which makes last minute changes easier to accommodate.
  • The basic nativity costumes are all that are required,
  • and all of the purpose written songs use either popular non-copyrighted tunes (so there is no licence fee to pay), or are my own (and I am happy to waive licence fees for you!)

What is so special about your nativity plays?

If you have already read the home page you will know that my nativity scripts are purpose written to be…

  • Adaptable
  • Easy to learn

as I began writing them for my own use when doing nativity plays as a children’s leader. Therefore I have made them…

  • Easy for you to recast in the event of absence or illness
  • Simple to use regardless of the number of children you have

Alternatively, if you’d like to bring something of a more modern touch to your nativity story and include Santa (or Saint Nicholas) alongside the traditional biblical story, why not try my Grandpa’s Nativity Story which combines the two.

Specifically what songs does it use?

I have used my own easily remembered words to the following popular tunes…

  • Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (ie, Angels’ song called “Glory to our God on High”)
  • Jingle Bells (ie, Kings’ song called “Three Kings Came”)
  • The Virgin Mary had a Baby Boy (ie, Shepherds’ song called “Shepherd’s Calypso”. This can include a solo verse by a shepherd for an extra special touch, plus a chorus sung by angels)

Also included are a couple of songs already known to most children….

  • Away in a Manger
  • We Wish You a Merry Christmas

Finally, a brand new “Donkey’s Journey” song (WARNING – highly infectious tune) which is very simple to pick up, but hard to forget (sorry) and makes a change from the usual “Little Donkey”!

……”But we don’t have the music for all of those!”

No problems. The sheet music is included in the price.

……”Actually, we don’t even have a pianist!”

No problem. Many of my customers told me the same thing, so I have included free copies of the music midi files for you to download onto your own computer. These can be played through a computer (usually using windows media player).

……How long does the nativity play last?

The expected performance time is approximately 25 minutes.

……Can we reprint the script to give out for the children to learn their parts?

Of course you can! Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, which is why I have made the actual word document available to you for just an extra £2 to make your job even easier. You can make any changes that you want, include the actors’ names, stage directions etc, then just print out your own personal version for distribution however you need to.

“Having the downloadable copy was invaluable as we could adapt it to meet our own needs and personalise it”
Kirsty, Summerhill Junior School, Bristol

I am proud to say that 100% of my customer feedback says that my scripts are great value for money, yet I have still improved them to include sheet music and FREE midi music files.

Not sure?

Maybe you’d prefer the combination of a modern day Christmas Eve setting with Santa (or St Nicholas), alongside the traditional bible based nativity, with a hint of pantomime villain in Herod!

Why do I do it for this price?

Ultimately, because I love the work that you are doing! Let’s face it, if you are running the nativity then you are, by nature of the job, doing endless hours of voluntary work, and therefore we have a lot in common! This is my way of supporting you and saying that it is all worthwhile and appreciated. Well done, and keep up the good work! Enjoy the script, have fun with your nativity play, and have a wonderful Christmas!
