Our First Spring – Early Years Performance

A sweet springtime play – Spring Chick has lost her mum! Can she find her way home?

Our First Spring - Children's Performance

‘Our First Spring’ is a simple, sweet springtime performance! A newly hatched chick sets off to find her mum, and along the way she discovers lots of signs of spring – including other friendly newborn animals… and a not-so-friendly Big Bad Wolf! Two time-saving scripts are easy enough to rehearse and stage in a few days, and six super-easy songs are based on nursery rhymes and familiar tunes. Cheep, cheep, hooray!

Very flexible! With two editable scripts, you can perform it with any number of children from 10 to 100+.

Around 10-20 minutes, depending on which script you use – and it’s easy to make it a lot shorter or longer. The detailed ‘Production Notes’ in your purchase show you how.

No – it’s a celebration of springtime.

Short on rehearsal time? No problem! We know from experience that the simple version can be rehearsed in a few days. The secret? Read from the simple script during the show, so nobody has lines to learn. Then share out the songs between children, classes or year groups, so nobody has more than 2 or 3 to remember. Follow this advice to the letter and you might even rehearse it in a single day – and as it’s an instant download, you can start preparing straight away!

Spring Topic Sorted

“An easy peasy springtime performance with charm and humour. We absolutely loved using it. It hardly took any time at all and the children gained so much valuable education from it. It ended up being the hub of the wheel which was our entire Spring topic.”
by K Johnson

So Cute

“We absolutely adored Our 1st Spring. The songs are beautiful and the story is so simple and cute. A real winner.”
by Carol Bruce

Loved It

"We only bought the Our First Spring download to have some seasonal songs to sing along to in our day nursery, but we loved it all so much that we ended up doing a little performance for the parents, which is something we've never done before. So I just wanted to thank you for providing such well thought out and well presented resources, which gave us the confidence to try something new. :):):)"
by Ros Starkey

Thank You

“Thank you for producing Our First Spring. We used it with our whole early years and infant departments combined (130 children) but we only made three small changes. Firstly we changed the title to 'Spring Chick's Egg-cellent Easter'. Secondly we had half a dozen spring-chicks and dozens of every other animal mentioned in the script, rather than just one of each. And thirdly we added a few extra of our own assembly songs so we had 10 songs in total. The whole performance was a great success and seeing over a hundred small children dressed in your clever animal masks was such a sweet thing to see. Every child loved taking part, no matter what age they were and the parents were amazed. I'm certain that next year we'll be using one of your 'Our First Easter' cds in a similar way.”
by B Giles

PERFECT

"We don't usually do any type of performance at Easter time, but having loved using Our First Nativity (One & Two) and Our First Christmas Play, we couldn't resist having a go at Our First Spring. It was very simple to put together and the children responded excellently. We always do a Springtime topic at this time of year anyway, and this just fitted in perfectly. Highly recommended."
by Claire

Great Easter Assembly

“Our Year 1 children performed 'Our First Spring' for our Easter Celebration Assembly. It genuinely is an excellent performance, which was great fun to use! The children remembered the lines easily and sung the catchy songs with ease and confidence. It was very easy to stage, and the included face masks were a godsend. Very impressive!”
