Continuing our monthly series, focusing on the products at the top of our all-time best sellers list, this month we look at our highly original alphabet nativity play: ‘The ABC Nativity’!

In September we looked at our Number 1 best seller ‘Our First Nativity‘. Then in October we looked at ‘C-H-R… Spells Christmas’, both the Infant and Junior versions, which are at numbers 2 and 3 in our list. This month we’re going to revisit our original alphabet nativity play and our all-time number 4 best seller, ‘The ABC Nativity‘.

Following on from Learn2soar’s early success with C-H-R… Spells Christmas, which told the Nativity story using the nine letters to spell the word Christmas, the writer Stuart Ross wanted to take the idea a step further and create a full alphabet nativity play, using every letter of the alphabet to tell the biblical story of the birth of Jesus.

After a few years planning, 2007 saw the release of ‘The ABC Nativity’. It was an instant hit, selling hundreds of copies in just the first few days. It was advertised as being suitable for ages 3-7, but over the years we’ve seen it successfully used by all ages from 2-11. A later alphabet nativity version for older children was released through 2013’s ‘Christmas Play in One Day’. But ‘The ABC Nativity’ still remains the most popular alphabet nativity play around.

Following the tried and trusted formula of Learn2soar’s other successful Early Years nativities, the eight songs featured in ‘The ABC Nativity’ are based on familiar tunes. The script is ingenious, not just with its alphabet nativity content, but also with its clever rhymes, making the entire musical very easy to learn and perform. (more…)

Happy Christmas from everyone at Learn2soar. We hope all of your Christmas musicals and nativity performances have gone really well.  Please let us know about your success stories and feel free to leave any feedback about our various Christmas productions. We look forward to hearing from you.

We’ve also updated our Christmas Pinterest board with lots of craft ideas to help you through the last week of term.

View From The Floor

“The Learn2soar early years nativities are so good. Over the last ten years we’ve used 4 different ones in our day nursery, ‘Our First Nativity’ (One and Two). ‘Our First Christmas Play’ and ‘C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s Spells Christmas’. They’re all so easy to use and are of an excellent quality. We have a very wide range of ages in our day nursery but all the children are able to take part fully and enjoy the songs so much. These nativities really are perfect for very young children. Thank you for all your help and for producing such brilliant material.” A Smith – Day Nursery Owner

“Absolutely fantastic. We’re really pleased with it. My boss said there was no way we were doing a nativity with children as young as two, but now having seen the material she has completely changed her mind. Honestly we are just so chuffed with this CD! Fantastic stuff.” K Payne – Nursery Worker

“Thank you so much for producing ‘Our First Nativity’. This is the third year in a row we’re performing it in our preschool! It’s always extremely popular and get’s great feedback from the parents. The songs and script are so easy to learn even for very young children. We love it!” L Harrison – Preschool Manager

“Excellent – We’ve 20 years experience of nativity plays and this is by far the best that we’ve come across. Well done!” S Marshall – Early Years Teacher
