Bring your school Christmas performance to life with The Great Christmas Tree Auditions—a heartwarming Christmas play and assembly pack with an editable Word script, two song lyric sheets and illustrated printable props.

Designed for Year 1 and Year 2, with flexible casting and supported participation for Reception and EYFS, this festive performance celebrates kindness, belonging and working together.

It is Christmas Eve, and the North Pole’s main tree needs a rest! Santa and Barnaby the Chief Elf hold auditions. The baubles dance, the fairy lights shine and the tinsel twirls—but a quiet little pine tree shows everyone that the best Christmas sparkle comes from bringing people together.

What’s included:

• A 37-page illustrated PDF performance pack
• A complete four-scene Christmas play script
• A separate editable Word script for changing names, sharing lines and adapting dialogue
• 30 named speaking roles, including shorter parts and longer lead roles
• Two song lyric sheets with suggested familiar melodies
• Illustrated scene guides and rehearsal support
• Casting adaptations for different class sizes
• Music and movement cues
• Costume and prop checklists
• A printable cast record and family letter
• Audition poster, judges’ desk cards and decoration group signs
• Character badges, star props, gift labels and Barnaby’s clipboard
• A separate optional song suggestions PDF with placement ideas and copyright guidance

The estimated performance time is 15–20 minutes before additional songs are added. Simple costumes, straightforward staging and flexible speaking parts help teachers adapt the performance to their pupils.

Ideal for a primary school Christmas play, festive class assembly or end-of-term performance, with opportunities to practise speaking clearly, listening, expressive movement and teamwork.
