"Fantastic! Very easy to learn. Only needs a few hours practice. The children and parents loved it!"

More Info: ‘Happy Birthday Jesus’ has seven very easy songs, beautifully sung by a real four-year-old – so your little ones will feel right at home singing along. The songs are linked by two time-saving rhyming scripts, and you get both: a simple play script with dozens of parts, and an even simpler narrators-only script, all fully editable. With plenty of extra resources, including HD lyric videos and activity sheets, you’ve got everything you need for a fantastic preschool Christmas performance. More preschool nativities?

Both scripts are flexible and work with any number of children from 10 to 100+.

Stick exactly to either script and the show runs for about 15 minutes. Want it shorter or longer? The suggestions in your purchase help you easily adjust it by 10-20 minutes.

We recommend at least two days of rehearsal time. Every group is different, though, so please listen to the songs and look through the material before deciding how much time your pupils will need.

AWESOME

"FANTASTIC, AMAZING, AWESOME! Everyone in our day nursery was involved from young babies to 5 year olds and they all loved it!!!"
by H Lesley - Day Nursery Director

A BIG HIT

"I was in charge of the nativity this year and we performed Happy Birthday Jesus with foundation and nursery. All the narration was done by the children themselves from memory and the songs were a big hit with the children and staff. Everybody was amazed at how confident the children performed and they all really enjoyed themselves. Thanks Learn2soar!"
by C O'Hagan - Teacher

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

"We used ‘Happy Birthday Jesus’ two years ago in our nursery and the parents loved it. Only problem I had was that not one of mine could sing quite as good as the 4 year old on the CD! Our kids are still singing the first song ‘We’re Having A Party’ every time we have a birthday! It's great! I am also a childcare tutor and mentioned your website to my students even though we were supposed to be studying healthy eating as I think children deserve the best and your songs make it easy for the carer to provide the best. I also recommended your website at a childcare conference a couple of weeks ago. Hope you sell plenty!"

WOW

"Just would like to say thank you for your support in sending the CD's for the material we weren't able to download. We performed two shows which went down with a WOW with the parents. We could certainly recommend your company to others for the professional customer service you deliver. You made our nativity special by supporting us. We wish you all a merry Christmas... FEEDBACK FROM LEARN2SOAR: Fortunately very, very few customers ever report technical difficulties in using our products, but as you can see from this feedback, if issues are reported then we will quickly do everything we can to ensure that your performance is still a tremendous success.
