No two casts are the same, so flexibility matters. That’s why almost all of our short nativity plays come with multiple script variations — narrated or acted — and every script is editable. Whether you need to shorten scenes, skip songs, or tailor lines for your cast, it’s easy to create the perfect fit. The running times listed here reflect the quickest, most streamlined versions.
Short doesn’t just mean fewer minutes on stage — it means fewer hours in rehearsal. That’s why this list of our short nativity plays focuses on the ones that are the fastest to rehearse, helping teachers deliver a polished performance without the stress of endless practice sessions.
Here’s our countdown of the top 10 short nativity plays, starting with the very shortest:
DESCRIPTION: The ultimate time-saver for busy teachers! This short nativity play is fun, simple, and packed with resources to give you everything you need for an instant performance. The included playscript, ‘The Santa Trap’, is a humorous story set on Christmas Eve. Santa secretly visits a children’s hospital ward to fill stockings, but the children catch him and won’t let him leave until he grants their wishes! Cue the elves and reindeer, who put on a lively ‘A-Z of Christmas’ show that audiences love. An optional nativity scene is also included.

It’s been another good year for us at Learn2soar Music, particularly in terms of sales. But to our disappointment we recently discovered that once again we’ve not sold as many nativities to churches this year as we have previously. Our research showed that more people than ever had googled for ‘church nativity plays’, or ‘Sunday school’ or ‘Christian’ nativity plays. However, very few of those searches converted into actual sales.
This is frustrating because the truth is, ALL of our Nativity plays are suitable for church use. In addition, all our non-nativity Christmas musicals and plays still feature the true message of Christmas in one way or another. (more…)
‘The Christmas Musical Selection Box‘ offers a range of enchanting stories and catchy songs that capture the essence of the festive season. With three modern festive tales, with optional nativity sections, each musical is carefully crafted to entertain and inspire audiences of all ages. With multiple easy-to-follow scripts, memorable melodies, and charming lyrics, these musicals are perfect for children to perform and for audiences to enjoy. (more…)
Our World War II Children’s Musical ‘Will Santa Get Shot Down’ has been updated for 2023. What’s new? Updated script, new artwork, updated staging advice with new ideas, new PowerPoint scenery and new PowerPoint lyrics.
‘Will Santa Get Shot Down’ is an uplifting Christmas musical that will make you laugh out loud and also bring a tear to the eye. Set in England on Christmas Eve 1940, Geoff and his family are about to spend what should be the most magical night of the year… in a cold, wet air-raid shelter! Based on a true story, this Christmas musical is perfect for children who are studying the history topic of life during WWII.
Please Note: This musical has nothing to do with the story of Santa, and there is definitely NO guns, or shooting of any kind! The title ‘Will Santa Get Shot Down’ is taken from a line in the script where the main character is worried about how Santa will still deliver presents while an air-raid is ongoing! A genuine worry for children in 1940!

A wonderful new musical play, perfect for end of year performances.

With plenty of humour and themes of friendship, hope and environmental issues, this musical will give your students the perfect send-off!

We are completely appalled at the unjustified, barbaric invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces. We hope and pray for a swift and peaceful resolution.
As a company, there are several areas of our business operations that we have had to re-evaluate in light of this Russian aggression towards a peaceful neighbouring country, and the unparalleled refugee crisis that Russia’s monstrous acts have created:
Like every other UK company, we are now looking carefully at the business we do with Russia. It is true that our sales in this location have historically been a lot lower than most other nations. Just a few dozen orders over the last 20 years. Nevertheless, we still feel that for the time being, we should no longer provide goods and services to Russian customers.
We have looked back over our company’s entire history for the last two decades and calculated all the money we have ever taken from any customer located in Russia or Belarus (full turnover, not just profits) and have made a donation equal to this total towards the Ukraine refugee crisis appeal, via the Disasters Emergency Committee (dec.org.uk).
Four of our publications have been affected by the war in Ukraine. We have had to re-evaluate each one and are dealing with each in slightly different ways: (more…)

A funny, tongue-twisting nativity, which tells the story of two Bethlehem innkeepers, who own competing inns. Firstly, there’s our hero, kind-hearted Mr. Inn, and then there’s his greedy, mean rival, Mr. Out. But one inn must close! Only one can survive!

Or Out be in, and Inn be out?
We do not know,
But we have no doubt,
We’ll find out soon enough!’

An easy-to-use, short children’s musical, perfect for harvest 2021, but equally suitable for any time of the year.
‘The Little Black Cloud’ tells the story of a nice friendly cloud who just wants to share his lovely rain. To his surprise though, he finds that most people don’t seem to want it! He then meets a farmer whose crops are dying because of a drought. Can the Little Black Cloud save the harvest?

This article was originally created last November. Since then the Coronavirus situation has changed in various ways for all our worldwide customers. Some have seen situations improve, some have seen things get worse. But one thing is certain, it would be foolish for us to not anticipate any further Covid disruption for planned Christmas performances around the world during 2021. Nevertheless, we still believe that whether schools are open or not, with plenty of technological / video / streaming options available, and with Covid advice sheets included with all our publications, there’s no need to let Covid put a stop to your school’s Christmas performance.
While many of our competitors are stuck with publications that may be suitable for only one type of setting, we’re confident that most of our Christmas performances will suit almost ANY situation.
VIEW OUR FULL RANGE OF CHRISTMAS MUSICALS & NATIVITY PLAYS
What’s the difference? Some of our competitors have just one single script included with each of their publications, with no editing allowed. This means that it might only be suitable for small casts or might only be suitable for one specific age-range, which can be very limiting. However, most of our publications are super-flexible with as many as five script variations included! And we always include fully editable scripts, so you can quickly make any changes you want to help adapt the script to suit your specific requirements.
And with regularly updated ‘Covid advice sheets’ included with every publication, you have even more detailed suggestions for ways to make your performance as safe as possible.
So, rather than us sharing what we think you should do (because every school setting is completely different) here are several case-studies from customers who spoke to us last year about their planned approaches towards their 2020 Christmas performances:
Thank you to all our customers around the world, for your continued support during this global coronavirus pandemic. We are still seeing a strong desire from our regular customers around the world to continue with their Christmas performances, in as normal a way as possible, but with appropriate Coronavirus mitigations in place. With this in mind, we have included a detailed Coronavirus Advice Sheet with every one of our publications, to help you make your performances as safe as possible. This advice sheet has been updated again within the last few weeks.
In addition, several areas of our business operations continue to be slightly affected moving forwards:
Any Leavers Assembly 2020 could be problematic for schools, but we think ‘Zooming On’ offers a perfect, socially distanced solution.
This assembly pack has now been almost completely transformed since it was first released several years ago. As well as the new lyric videos, it also contains remixed MP3 vocal and backing tracks. Plus, a new longer script, updated sheet music, songsheet, PowerPoints and artwork.
But with the current Coronavirus pandemic, many schools are wondering if, when and how they can still hold any type of Leavers Assembly during 2020. We believe that Zooming On provides a great solution. You can read the script out, with no acting, and no need for any of the pupils to get close to each other. You can perform the songs as solos, rather than group singing (which appears to be frowned on at the moment).
And what about the audience? Well if you are unable to perform outdoors to a socially distanced audience, then why not record your performance and put the video on your school website or YouTube channel. Remember to password protect it so that only pupils, staff and families from your school can see it. If not, then you may be in breach of copyright laws. If you need any help with this, then we’re very happy to offer assistance.
Please note that if you would like to use these assemblies lyric videos free of logos, or if you want backing track versions of the same videos, then you can purchase the ‘Songs 4 Assemblies KS2’ Download Pack HERE. This pack also contains PowerPoints, sheet music, and assembly content (stories / activities / prayers) for all 10 songs. (more…)
