About The Tale Of 3 Trees
This wholesome story is one of our bestsellers at Easter! Here’s why:
THE SONGS
There are four simple and catchy songs that are full of the expectation, disappointment and ultimate joy of the story – from a groovy woodcutters’ song to a beautifully simple ballad of disappointment, these are songs your class are going to love!
THE STORY
This story is based on a Christian folk tale about three little trees growing up on the mountaintop who have big dreams of what they want to become, but one by one those hopes are dashed as they are chopped down and turned into seemingly insignificant things. However, God has an amazing plan for each tree – a plan that goes beyond any of their wildest dreams as they find themselves at the heart of the story of Jesus.
THE CHARACTERS
This musical works really well as a whole-class production as it includes not just the three trees, but narrators, carpenters, Mary and Joseph and more! You can also adapt this script to work for smaller classes or Sunday School groups!
THE EXTRAS
This musical comes with handy teaching ideas as well as staging and prop suggestions!
THE VERDICT
‘What a delightful, easy-to-learn and useful Easter resource. Our children were really excited, learning the songs and script in two weeks (Years R - 4). Definitely going to recommend using this again in our cycle of Easter services/concerts.’
‘It is a beautiful, meaningful and sweet play and its moral comes across very nicely! Very catchy songs as well.’
An editable script is available for this product when you purchase a package that includes an eSongbook.
View staging suggestions
There are 16 speaking parts in this musical, but these can easily be increased to as many as 30 by splitting the narrator’s role into 8 parts; using 3 children to play each tree and having 2 carpenters, splitting the lines accordingly.
For increasing the number of non-speaking parts, have as many fishermen, Roman soldiers, members of the crowd and guards as you like. The trees (up to 3 children each) could be replaced by up to 9 other children who act out the objects the trees become when they are chopped down.
If you did want to reduce the cast, the narration could be taken by a teacher and the Roman soldiers could double up as the guards.
