In many schools, performing an Out of the Ark nativity play has become a festive tradition. Our nativity plays and musicals for children have simple, often humorous scripts with adaptable parts to suit small or larger casts. All of the songs in our Christmas productions help to capture the magic of this special time of year. With nearly 60 nativity and Christmas musicals in our catalogue, there is sure to be one to suit your school to help you celebrate what is the most wonderful time of the year for children. School musicals should be the most rewarding of all school adventures, something of which the school and parents can be rightly proud. But the whole process should also be as enjoyable and as stress-free as possible. By creating musicals intended to capture the imagination of the children, we also aim to ease the process for the teachers at the helm. And don’t forget, we are always at the end of the phone should you need further guidance and support. This means you can install our Words on Screen™ software onto ONE computer only, or it can be streamed by a single user. All children in the Early Years were simply amazing; all practitioners and teachers are super proud of their efforts, and it was a magical experience that we were so pleased to show off to parents and family members. Miss Kingston says a massive thank you to each and every child.

Christmas Musicals for Schools

But that’s not all. We understand that every school and year group is unique. That’s why we’ve included a list of adaptations for different year groups and school types, ensuring that our script can be tailored to fit your specific needs and circumstances. Out in the desert, three kings are making their way to Bethlehem. They have heard that there is going to be an important event there very soon - the arrival of a very special baby (WE’RE GOING TO SEE A BABY BOY). Choosing a Niki Davies production is a brilliant school nativity idea. We are pleased to be the publishers of six of Niki's very latest infant nativity plays: The Stable Stompers' can't wait to play their big concert in the stable in Bethlehem. They have been practising hard for weeks and are hoping for a big audience that night. But then some angels arrive talking of a young couple - Mary and Joseph - who are expected shortly, not to mention some local shepherds and three travelling kings. Suddenly, the stable animals have other things on their mind than their concert, especially with the arrival of baby Jesus. Duration is another factor to consider when choosing your primary school nativity. The duration of our nativity musicals ranges from 20 minutes up to 50 minutes, with everything in between, so you can find something that works within your time frame.
