Special Christmas Package. A little about each script:
1. Babushka A Christmas Story from Russia
This script could be used either for an assembly or as a guided reading script for a group of 7(with an accompanying quiz) within the classroom. It is one of a collection Sue Russell is currently writing – the aim being to have an assembly collection of 20 (one for each day of December leading up to Christmas). These will be sold separately (like this one) or as a set of 4, or as a collection of 20. Second, in the collection is Poinsettia – A Christmas Story from Mexico; third is a short version of Christmas Carol – A Story from England; and fourth a script on Santa Claus.
Word of warning – if you consider adding some music, and ‘Babushka’ by Kate Bush leaps to mind (as it did in my case) – think again! After reading/listening to the lyrics, I came to the conclusion that Kate had obviously read a different version to the one I had!
Special Christmas Package. Sample Text
Melchior: Hush! Hush good people! Let’s not fall out over this! (Turning to
Babushka) Nobody was making fun of your housework.
Balthazar: No indeed. We have visited many homes in our travels and few have
come close to yours! We were all really impressed with how clean
and tidy everything was.
Caspar: But we were disappointed that your housework kept you from travelling
to Bethlehem.
Babushka: But that’s where you’re wrong! After you’d left, I changed my mind! And
after sorting the place out, and finding some toys for the baby Jesus, I
walked out my front door and set off after you!
Mary: Now I’m beginning to understand! You men! Always thinking we can drop everything, just like that! I’m sorry I may have seemed to be criticising you earlier on. I can see now you just needed a little time!
Melchior: But what a lot of time you could have saved if you had just packed up then
and there! And come with us!
Babushka: I know. I realise that now. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Inn keeper: But what of your travels? I remember telling you you were too late when you
got to Bethlehem. Mary and Joseph had just left with their newborn.
Mary: We couldn’t hang about. Not with that terrible King Herod on the
rampage!
Babushka: That was probably the nearest I got to finding you. But I never gave up!
Balthazar: What an amazing woman!
Melchior: We three men found it hard sometimes, travelling from place to place.
Inn keeper: But at least you had each other for company.
Caspar: And we were men! It must have been terrifying travelling alone as a
woman!
Babushka: Yes, it did seem hard at first. I had led such a sheltered life. All I had
known were those four walls of my house. I was so busy tidying up,
I never had time for anything else, and I rarely spoke to another person!
2. The Meaning of Christmas – The Conversion of Scrooge
This is a real tear-jerker – I guarantee there will not be a dry eye in the house after this one! How can a group of carol singers possibly hope to melt the ice-cold heart of one …. Mr. Scrooge!?! Things don’t seem too promising – given the number of Bah! Humbugs! But have patience – unlikely as it may seem, Mr. Scrooge is about to become …. a second Good King Wenceslas!
Sample Text:
Music 4 The Holly and the Ivy
Scrooge: Bah! I’d have had the whole lot outlawed!
Child 11: Which is exactly what happened in Scotland, in 1583; and then in England when Oliver Cromwell and his lot took over.
Scrooge: Good for them! Good sense prevailing at last!
Child 12: Christmas returned with the restoration of the monarchy in 1660
Scrooge: Bah!
Child 13: But it wasn’t until the reign of Queen Victoria that Christmas really came into its own again.
Scrooge: Double Bah!
Child 14: The German nation had always gone in for Christmas in a big way – one and a half months, that’s 16 days of festivities!
Scrooge: Humbug!
Child 15: Don’t you mean, Hamburg?!
Scrooge: Bah!
Child 16: When Queen Victoria married Prince Albert, from Germany, he brought over plenty of Christmas spirit with him!
Scrooge: Bah! Lucky I wasn’t on Customs! I’d never have let him through!
Child 17: He also brought the first Christmas tree to Windsor Castle
Child 18: And Christmas cards appeared, with even more carol singing!
Music 5 We wish you a merry Christmas
Scrooge: Bah! Those Victorians! They have a lot to answer for!
Child 19: But if it hadn’t been for the writings of Charles Dickens, you would not be here now!
Child 20: Time for another ‘Christmas Carol’?
Music 6 Good King Wenceslas
Scrooge: Foolish man! Fancy getting his feet cold – just to save a good for nothing pauper!
Child 21: But that is what Christmas is all about! It’s about
Whole cast: Giving!
Child 22: To those less fortunate than yourself. It’s about
Whole cast: Family time!
Child 23: Spending time with your family, enjoying each other’s love. It’s about
Child 24: Putting up Christmas decorations!
Child 25: Eating Christmas dinner!
Child 26: Opening presents!
Child 27: Kissing under the mistletoe!
Whole Cast: (Groaning) Ugh!
Scrooge: Exactly! Ugh! All this excess! It’s just too much! Thank goodness I’m spending Christmas alone …. again.
(Child 28 runs across the stage, and flings his arms around Scrooge)
Child 28: But Mr. Scrooge! You can’t be alone! Not at Christmas!
