Someone Has a Birthday: Preschool Christmas Musical (Program, Play, Pre-K)

Someone Has a Birthday

A simple preschool Christmas musical play designed especially for children ages 3 to 7 which includes an original narrated script & 5 Christmas songs for preschoolers.

The angels will handle the invitations, the shepherds will clean and decorate the manger, the wisemen will take care of the presents, and the star will lead us all to a barn in Bethlehem at Christmas where Someone Has a Birthday . . . . . Jesus! Your preschoolers will enjoy acting out the parts, singing the songs and ringing the bells as they celebrate Jesus' birthday with a Christmas party at the manger.

Someone Has a Birthday includes:
1) an original narrated script (10 - 25 of your preschoolers get to act, but don't have to say any lines), prop list and staging,
2) 6 Christmas songs for preschoolers that are full of motions, sign language and bells,
3) a piano score with guitar chords,
4) a vocal CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song). Performance time: 20 minutes.

We'll clean up and decorate the barn!

Purchase of this preschool Christmas musical play ($30 plus shipping) grants you permission to make as many copies of the sheet music and script as needed for your performance plus permission to make and distribute copies of the vocal CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song) and lyric sheet to your preschoolers (a great way for them to learn the music quickly!).

A keyboard CD (no vocals) is also available for $20 plus shipping, for those times when your piano player isn't available or when you need to free up your hands to teach actions or sign language. This CD may also be used for your performance - it's like hiring a piano player who plays the music the same way every time!

To preview this Christmas musical play, a script and vocal CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song) are available for $7 plus shipping.   The preview package does not include permission to perform the script or any of the songs in the musical.

If you would like to use the 10-12 minute script and insert your own preschool Christmas songs, the purchase price of the performance rights for the script is $17. This script includes narration (10 - 25 of your preschoolers get to act, but don't have to say any lines), prop list and staging. The script can be sent via e-mail to save shipping charges.

If you already have a script and you prefer to purchase individual songs from Cathy's preschool Christmas musicals, you have the following options:
      1.   Purchase sheet music. Sheet music ($3.50 per song) includes piano score, guitar chords and motions. Sheet music can be e-mailed (PDF format) OR printed and mailed.
      2.   Purchase an MP3 to go along with your sheet music. MP3s ($2.00 per song) include two tracks for each song: a vocal track of Cathy singing the song and a keyboard-only track with no vocals. MP3's are e-mailed.
      3.   Purchase a Custom CD to go along with your sheet music. There is a $10 labor charge for each custom CD plus the cost of each song that you purchase. Custom CDs include both a vocal track of Cathy singing the song and a keyboard-only track with no vocals. (Example: Custom CD with 2 songs = $10 labor charge + $2.00 for Song #1 + $2.00 for Song #2. CUSTOM CD with 2 SONGS TOTAL = $14.) Custom CDs are shipped via priority mail.

"Our Christmas program was another successful one this year. Continue writing the 20-minute preschool programs. They work very well for us and everyone enjoys them immensely."

Melanie K., Century Baptist Church

"We have used your preschool programs for the past two years. They have been very well received and much easier to put together than the other ones we have tried. As a former full-time church musician (I'm now the pastor), I am extremely appreciative of the age-appropriateness of the music you write for our preschoolers. Thanks!"
