Key Stage 1 - The Christmas Nativity Script

This rhyming nativity script brings the classic story of Christmas to life with heartwarming scenes, charming characters, and a message of love and kindness. With 30 speaking roles, it allows each child to play a part in telling the journey of Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, and the wise men, as they follow the star to witness the miracle of Jesus’ birth.

Scenes include the angel Gabriel’s announcement to Mary, the shepherds’ visit, the wise men’s journey guided by the star, and the arrival at the stable in Bethlehem. The script features narration, dialogue, and two carol performances—“Away in a Manger” and “Silent Night”—with links to YouTube versions for easy preparation. Each character, from the humble innkeeper to the curious animals, plays a role in reminding the audience of Christmas’s true spirit: joy, peace, and goodwill toward all.
