"Excellent songs, excellent rhyming script, which tells a difficult story in a very sensitive way"

Please note that both scripts are narrated, so there are no acting parts – see the script sample for more details.

As well as the two inspiring scripts, you get nine superbly simple Easter story songs, beautifully sung by a young child, plus all the backing tracks, so there’s no need for a pianist. You’ll also receive PowerPoint lyrics and scenery, songsheets, sheet music, ideas and more – everything you need for a great Easter performance with young children. Want a springtime show without the full Easter story? Try Our First Easter Show.

“It doesn't seem right to use the word 'fun' to talk about Jesus death, but it's the best word I can think of to describe this presentation. You have actually made the whole Easter story fun for the children. They loved performing it and the parents loved watching it.”

Very flexible! With two editable scripts, you can perform it with any number of children from 1 to 60+.

Around 15-25 minutes, depending on the script and songs you use – and it’s easy to make it a lot shorter or longer. The detailed ‘Production Notes’ in your purchase show you how.

Short on rehearsal time? No problem! We know from experience that the simple version can be rehearsed in a few days. The secret? Read from the simple script during the show, so nobody has lines to learn. Then share out the songs between children, classes or year groups, so nobody has more than 2 or 3 to remember. Follow this advice to the letter and you might even rehearse it in a single day – and as it’s an instant download, you can start preparing straight away!

SO GOOD

"Downloaded this just to help me show the Easter story to my reception class but ended up doing a performance for the rest of the school! It was too good not to."

GREAT

"I sang the our first easter songs with my kindergarten children for our Easter pageant. The children read some of the script and used the colorful powerpoint slides too. Got a great response from everyone. I’ll be telling other teachers I know about it."

GREAT EASTER STORY LEARNING AID

"Very good. I only wanted some simple Easter songs to sing with the children but ended up doing a lot more. We played the CD in the background lots and found the children were naturally singing along. Then just before Easter we played all the songs, while I read the script and showed the children the power point pictures. It was a lovely afternoon, which showed the children the true meaning of Easter in a way that we couldn't possibly have done on our own. Next year I will definitely be doing it again but might even show it to the parents also."

GREAT FOR ALL AGES

"Our Sunday School children performed Our First Easter in our Easter Sunday church service. We had 15 children aged 4-14. We obviously changed the title and first song to just "Our Easter Play", and it worked very very well. The congregation and church pastor were thrilled. Apart from being amazingly easy to learn, I was impressed by the fact that the whole thing covered so much of Jesus life and not just the main section of the Easter story. It really told the whole story of Jesus in a way that made it easy to understand, even for those who might have never known anything about Jesus beforehand."
by Mrs Jas Jones

THANK YOU

"Thanks for Our First Easter Play. We easily learnt all the songs for our Easter performance, which went well. It's a great way to teach young children the true Easter story."
