Noisy Nativity - for children who just can't keep quiet!Noisy Nativity presents the Christmas story with gusto, featuring catchy songs, lots of actions and percussion and an entertaining script. This show opens with a bang, all the children playing percussion instruments or clapping and stamping really loudly! Their teachers come to quieten them down. 'Why are you making all that noise?' they ask. 'Because Christmas is exciting!' the children reply. Two of the children (Connor and Chloe) are under the impression that Christmas is all about presents, so the teachers point them in the direction of the Nativity - and so begins a lively retelling of the story of Jesus' birth.Although the show is very simple, there is plenty for all to do, which keeps the children engaged. The script is very versatile, suiting almost any size of cast. There are just a handful of main parts, which can easily be shared out to suit larger groups - and if you have nursery age children, the part of the teachers could even be played by adults. Guaranteed to be a parent-pleaser! Age range: 3-8 years.Approximate Duration: 20-25 minutes / Voix
