Each play is introduced with a story version, followed by games and activities to help children explore it. There are three plays to choose from: 'Have you seen Christmas?', 'The earth looks forward to Christmas' and 'Jump for joy!' Each is designed to explore the wonder and joy of the Christmas period in a way that makes it easy and enjoyable for everyone involved. Contains photocopy permission.

This book has the following chapters: The three plays are as follows: Have you seen Christmas? A modern day story about a homeless boy called Luke and his lovable dog, 'Christmas'. When the dog goes missing on Christmas Eve, Luke and his friends find the dog (and the true spirit of Christmas) in a most unexpected place. The Earth looks forward to Christmas. An imaginative play, based on some of the Bible readings traditionally used at a service of nine lessons and carols. Planet Earth, cheered by Isaiah's vision of a peaceful world, impatiently awaits the birth of a very special baby. Jump for Joy! A nativity play with a difference! Mary and Elizabeth tell the family stories to Jesus and John, now lively young boys, as they sit together around the campfire on their way to Jerusalem one year.
