As Nochebuena (Christmas Eve) approaches, all of the villagers celebrate the wonderful traditions of Las Posadas---from the nightly candlelit processions to the breaking of the piñata. But young Alicia is troubled, as she has no gift to present in the plaza on Christmas Eve. She learns that giving from her heart is magical, as her lowly gift blossoms into the fiery poinsettia plant. This 20-minute mini-musical will captivate your performers and audiences alike. Options given for sacred performances. Features several Spanish words and short phrases. Titles: Fiesta! * Is There Any Room? * The Piñata Song * What Can I Give? * March of the Children. Teacher's Handbook includes reproducible pages.

These charming mini-musicals make a perfect pair for primary-aged students! Both of the traditional folk tales are told with brief unison songs and short scenes (featuring a small cast of characters plus up to 25 narrators). Minimal rehearsal time, few props, creative costume pieces, and a simple set make for no fuss in-class or on-the-stage productions. Whether you present them separately or as a set, your youngest performers will shine as adorable farm animals, fluffy forest creatures, or the territorial mean and nasty troll. Approximately 30 minutes when combined. Complete choreography included. Recommended for grades K--4.
