The Barnyard Nativity - KS1 play

In this funny KS1 nativity play, the cows, sheep, and stars take the lead roles, adding their unique perspective to the Christmas story. The animals in the barn and the twinkling stars in the sky make sure the Christmas message is loud and clear — and a little bit silly! There are 18 speaking roles but 5 scenes, so the speaking parts can be shared out more widely with different children taking on the speaking parts for different scenes.

Characters:
• 3 Cows (Cow 1, Cow 2, Cow 3)
• 3 Sheep (Sheep 1, Sheep 2, Sheep 3)
• 3 Stars (Star 1, Star 2, Star 3)
• Mary
• Joseph
• Donkey
• 3 Wise Men
• 3 Shepherds

There is 1 song per scene and they include all the Nativity favourites: Little Donkey, Away in a Manger, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, We Wish You a Merry Christmas and Silent Night. At the end, parents are encouraged to join in with Jingle Bells.
