Question

Why do Christians perform nativity plays at Christmas?

Singing carols and performing nativity plays is about telling the ‘good news’ of God coming to earth	I can help make figures for our own nativity set I can act out different parts of the Christmas story I can talk about what we might do if a very important baby was born (Challenge) I can sing songs that tell the Christmas story I can find pictures that show scenes from the nativity and talk about who’s who
Church events at Christmas are an annual reminder of God’s love for people a bit like birthdays reminding us of how friends and family love us (Challenge)	I know that we celebrate Christmas every year as it reminds Christians how much God loves them
Christmas is about sharing God’s love with others	I can talk about Christmas as a special time to share God’s love with our families and friends (Challenge)
