wholesome delight of the audience. With these few Christmas play ideas try to put up a Christmas play that your congregation will remember for a long time to come.
An easy play to put on with fewer performers is a reenactment of the birth of Jesus. While the narrator recites the other children can go through the motions. This way they don't have to by heart any lines. The play can be mellowed with Christmas hymns. For example, when the three kings bring their gifts to Jesus, the congregation can sing "We Three Kings". There are about five or six hymns that will fit in nicely during this play. The whole production should take about 30 minutes and is very easy to pull off.
Try to mix a light-hearted feel, with some jokes and humor. Also try to deliver a serious take-home message. The whole service should last for around 50 minutes, including hymns and songs. Make good rehearsals before the final play. Use a couple of distant microphones for clear sound. Digital projector and project scenery and images on wooden frames will enhance the quality of the play.
Another idea would be to have musicians come into the church, have a narrator tell the story of Christmas and after each reading of a particular part, have the musicians play various Christmas hymns. While they are playing, you can have some children act out certain parts relating to the music being played.
