Christmas

- a play or musical-
You can have one child recite each verse of the poem or you can have one person read the
whole thing while the children sing.
My thought was to have 2 or 3 groups of children each sing a different song, dressed in
different costumes. Then have all of the children join together to sing the final song.

Once upon a time,
