About A Fireside Nativity
From the writing team that brought you The Big Little Nativity and The Twinkly Nativity comes this immersive and inclusive take on the traditional nativity.
THE SONGS
From a catchy campfire tune to a sheep-counting round, these songs are very much ‘all together now!’ numbers and have been written for everybody to get toe-tapping and singing along to – teachers and audiences included!

THE VERDICT
‘A charming, tuneful nativity with a twist!’
‘Accessible and enjoyable songs that even the most self-conscious staff-member should feel confident with teaching.’

There are 20 speaking parts (but many essential non-speaking parts). These speaking parts can easily be increased by having extra campers and splitting the lines between them. To increase the non-speaking parts, have as many travellers, innkeepers, shepherds, sheep, angels and attendants as you like. The 20 speaking parts can be easily decreased by having fewer campers and splitting the lines accordingly. The essential non-speaking parts can easily be decreased by doubling up on parts.
(Total length of music: 18 minutes approx)
