Christmas plays for kids in Year 4-6 (KS2): eight short, funny Christmas scripts for small casts, each with 4 or 5 speaking roles, simple props and no scenery. It is a ready-to-perform set of Christmas plays for kids that suits a class show, drama club or end-of-term assembly.

Hand out the scripts, read them through as a group and perform in the classroom with almost no preparation. Every play lists its cast, props and setup. Play 8 has an optional ensemble insert so that a whole class of up to 25 children can take part, and the teacher guide helps with rehearsing and staging.
