I am still searching for a sensible Christmas musical to do with grades 1-3. When I say sensible I mean that it is not some crazy theme - like a hoe-down Christmas or something. I also can't use anything really religious. In the past I have done 'The Nutcracker' and 'Silent Night' (a story of church mice and the community they live in). It also doesn't have to be a musical, but it would be nice. ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

The Spirit of Christmas, by Annette Cameron. It's set in Santa's workshop, where the spirit of Christmas has gone missing. A musical in as much as it comes with one original song, but suggests the option of using other songs ("popular songs") at various other points in the show.
In a similar vein, there's A Letter to Santa by Sue Gordon. This comes with 5 original songs. The down-side of this one is that, whilst not religious throughout, it ends in a crib scene tableau. (The links take you to pages where you should be able to read the complete scripts, but you need the free Java plug-in installed on your computer to do so.) |

I've done The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! twice and it's been a real crowd pleaser. Don't think that because it's a "Christmas Pageant" that it's religious because it's more about looking past what you've heard about someone and getting to really know a person before you pass judgement.

Check out Toy Camp and Toy Land.
Both have pre-recorded music- we have done both with kids that age and they LOVE Them! Toy Camp is awesome because they are dressed as toys!!!!!
