Any number of children from 10-100+.

If you stick exactly to the script, and sing all the songs, then the full script should take around 30 minutes and the simple script should take about 23 minutes. However, you can easily shorten or lengthen the production by 10-15 minutes either way, using the provided editable versions of the scripts. Suggestions of ways to change the timing can be found in the detailed ‘production notes’ which are also included in your purchase.

We believe that this play needs a minimum of three days rehearsal time. Please note, this is not a guarantee. Please listen to the songs and view the material before deciding how much rehearsal time your pupils will require.

No, this performance is not religious. One song and one script section do mention the biblical nativity story, but these sections can very easily be cut, if required.

"Our First Christmas Play went so well. Could not have asked for anything more."

A PERFECT FORMULA FOR SUCCESS

"Just brilliant. The children performed with great enthusiasm and excitement. The songs were easily learnt and beautifully sung. The scripted lines were simple for the children (and staff;) with just the perfect amount of repetition in the script. A perfect formula for success. We'll all be clapping, dancing and shouting hooray every day until the Christmas break now. Thank you."

REALLY ENTERTAINING

"A really entertaining show to put on. The children picked up the songs so well and even the adults joined in with them during the performance! We had nearly 70 children ranging from 2-4, but there's still enough material for every child to have a part - singing, dancing, speaking, playing instruments - everyone's involved. Really pleased with it. Will be using it again."

GREAT MATERIAL

"We performed Our First Christmas Play last year with over a hundred Early Years pupils, ranging in ages from 3 to 5. They excelled with some amazing performances. They easily learnt all ten of the catchy songs, accompanied by a great rhyming script. The confidence they gained from having such great material to work with was clear and they performed the show with great gusto."

THANK YOU

"I simply want to say that the kids absolutely loved performing this! Thank you very much! "

VERY FLEXIBLE

"I've used Our 1st Christmas Play in 2 different settings now and wanted to share my experiences. The first time was 3 years ago with a reception class of 4-5 year olds. We used the full script, with all 10 songs included and it was big, big hit with the parents and staff. It was very easy to produce and the children excelled in their performance with beautiful solos and humorous acting. The second time was last year in my new school with a nursery class of mainly 3 year olds, most of whom were working at a level more akin to that of 2 year olds!! So this time I used the simple (narrators’ parts only) script. I then also cut out 4 songs and made a few changes to the songs that were left... either singing very slowly with no accompaniment, or using 'music and movement' instead of singing, with added percussion instruments in the background. It was still a great success and just shows what a very flexible production this is. Well done Learn2soar."

VERY SUCCESSFUL

"Even though I'm not very musical, I still appreciate how well this is written and produced. The children love it and performed it so well. The parents thought it was amazing and especially loved the clever ending. A very successful performance. Thank you."

SO GOOD

"The Learn2soar early years nativities are so good. Over the last ten years we've used 4 different ones in our day nursery, Our First Nativity - One and Two. Our First Christmas Play and C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s Spells Christmas. They're all so easy to use and are of an excellent quality. We have a very wide range of ages in our day nursery but all the children are able to take part fully and enjoy the songs so much. These nativities really are perfect for very young children. Thank you for all your help and for producing such brilliant material."

HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED!

"No Christmas is complete without a performance, and Our First Christmas Play has everything you need to put on one to remember. It tells the story of forgetful Santa, who knows he has an important job to do, but can’t remember what it is! It features an easy-to-learn rhyming script and 10 fun songs about crackers, reindeer, the Nativity and more. It includes vocal and backing tracks, two editable scripts, PowerPoints, sheet music and more."
