Re: [GO] Re: school Christmas plays
The year that I worked in a Special School in London, we did a "Rock & Roll" Christmas - I can't quite remember it all, but the the kings came on Motor bikes (well, electric wheelchairs to be strictly accurate) Then, in PNG we had to have Jospeh on the Donkey & Mary dragging it (the donkey had wheels & he couldn't walk very well) & 1 of the Kings arrived on a Tractor.

Plus (gasp!) we do let our audiences applaud! In a church too! Lucky EBD can't see it. Having said that I am running out of ways to ring the changes on the Christmas play. We've done Christmas round the world, Christmas in history, Christmas carols, Christmas customs, and last year we did a version of "A Christmas Carol", with quite a lot of licence taken with the plot (e.g. five spirits instead of three!) I am thinking of having a TV-documentary theme this year with a Year 6 film crew reporting on events from Bethlehem and interviewing the protagonists. Actually I have pinched stuff from GO lit before now. Once I did a Year 4 pantomime of Cinderella, in which I "borrowed" quite a few rhyming couplets from the version in Pamela Brown's "Swish of the Curtain". Don't tell the copyright lawyers. :-) Kate D.
