Christmas 101: Discover the True Gift

A simple production with few props. Great for children’s ministry or an intergenerational production. Professor Hollymas takes three students on a Christmas journey, introducing them to the events surrounding the birth of Jesus.

This production consists of 11 short scenes, most of which are 1-1.5 pages in the script. The main characters, the students and the professor, have most of the lines, and can either read or memorize lines. Notebooks and clipboards can be used to “hide” the script to help the reading be less obvious to the audience.

Scripture references are given throughout the play. Print out the scriptures in your church’s preferred Bible version for your actors to read.

Biblical skits or readings are at the end of each scene. This is the best way to involve your younger children!  Many of these characters have few or no lines. 

Nine optional Christmas songs are listed in the script for congregational involvement during the production. These are great transitions between scenes. 

If your children’s ministry primarily serves younger children, this play can work well for you by enlisting the help of your teens and adults. There are plenty of ways to incorporate younger children as shepherds, townspeople, and angels.

Instructions are included for simple, easy, no-sew, low-stress costume ideas. 

Outfitting your cast has never been easier! 

Minimum people needed: 10

**Characters can be played by children, teens, or adults. 5 strong readers are the main characters and narrator. An additional 5 or more people portray 16 supporting characters, many of them appear in just one scene.
