Christmas is coming!

Hey everyone:
I have been put in charge of putting on a 20 minute Christmas play with 10 of my students. I am wondering if any of my wise friends here on ESL Printables know of a good play that I could use. I am looking for a dialogue that I can use for the students to memorize. I was thinking of a play like, "A Christmas Carol" or something along that line. If any of you have some help for me it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and cheers from Shanghai,
Fletsch |

I doubt you could get through A Christmas Carol in 20 minutes.
Why not do a chapter from the Bible? Or.........
Try writing Christmas Sketches in Google and see what comes up.

I have to stay away from Bible sketches as per my school - and I did google Christmas sketches, but they all seem a bit too difficult for my ESL students... |

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
It �s a VERY simplified version of the story with a lot of repetition. I used it with 8 year old Japanese students last year. Four different classes and all successful.
Hope it �s useful to you.

I don �t know how old your sts are, but I have this play http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=262754#thetop here which I used with my students and it worked out well. We even did it as a puppet play, because some of them were shy to act in public. You can check the preview, so you don �t waste points if you don �t like it. Sorry for the self-advertising, people, but it �s a particular thing asked for.
Anyway, Fletsch, whatever you choose, do enjoy it - it can be so much fun putting on a play with kids. |

I don �t understand - because Christmas IS a religious holiday! Isn �t putting on a Christmas play that �s not a religious a contradiction in terms?

Yes, it seem like a contrudiction to us but this play has to be done in china and they don �t want the children to know about a real Savior coming to earth to save peopl from their sins. So Christmas is more than just a religious holiday, it �s more about god who gives life and shanghai is in Communistic country |
