'Easy Ways to Christmas Plays' contains three simple yet effective nativity plays suitable for use with groups of mixed ages: Come to my party! The Star who couldn't twinkle Shine your lights! In order to minimise complicated entries and exits for the younger children, each play is designed to allow all the children to stay on stage throughout the performance. All the children are involved in actions, mimes and songs throughout the play, with the speaking parts designed for older children in the group. Each play is preceded by a complete story version of the play, complete with black and white line drawings, designed to be told to the group as an introduction to the play itself. The story is followed by a five-week countdown to the performance, with hints, activities and scripts for each week running up to the performance. Suggested stage positions are included. Photocopy permission is included for the scripts and for all worksheets.
