Christmas Step-by-Step: Preschool Christmas Musical (Program, Play, Pre-K)

Christmas Step-by-Step

A preschool (Pre-K) Christmas musical written for 3-7 year old children which includes an interactive narrated script & 6 preschool Christmas songs.

Walk, run, march, tip-toe, or whirl and twirl your way through the Christmas story with the characters in Christmas Step-by-Step. Mary and Joseph wear their most comfortable shoes for their many steps on the long trip to Bethlehem . . . then Joseph surprises Mary with a new pair of slippers for her hot and tired feet! The animals in the barn sing about the birth of a savior as they flap their wings, swing their tails and nod their heads. The angels whirl and twirl their ribbons with excitement as they deliver God's good news to the shepherds and then sing their song of praise to God. The shepherds can't help but jump for joy as they share the news of the birth of a savior with everyone they meet. Christmas Step-by-Step invites us to sing with the angels and jump for joy with the shepherds as we celebrate God's gift of a savior to the world - Jesus . . . God's promise to be with us where ever we go!

Christmas step-by-step, Christmas step-by-step,
We will tell the Christmas story step-by-step.

Take a quiet step. Jesus is asleep. SH!
Take a noisy step. There are lots of sheep! BAA!

Take a singing step. Angels sing a song.
Take a Christmas step. You can come along.

Christmas Step-by-Step includes:
1) a script with interactive narrated script (the narrator keeps the children engaged by asking them questions as the story is read) along with 10+ non-speaking parts (your preschoolers get to act, but they don't have to say any lines),
2) 6 Christmas songs for preschoolers that are full of motions, claps, jumps and sign language (Away in a Manger & Go Tell it on the Mountain-refrain are included),
3) piano score with guitar chords,
4) a vocal CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song).
Performance time: 20 minutes.

Purchase of this preschool Christmas musical ($29 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 a lyric sheet to your children (a great way for them to learn the music quickly!).

To preview this preschool Christmas musical program, a script and vocal CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song) are available for $7 plus shipping. If you'd like to use the 9-minute script and insert your own children's songs, purchase of performance rights for the script is $15 (script can be sent via e-mail to save shipping charges). If you already have a script written and would like to use some of the Christmas songs from this musical, sheet music is available for $3.00 per song plus shipping. Sheet music includes piano score, guitar chords and motions. No CD is included when you purchase sheet music for individual songs.

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 the motions 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!

"Your programs are awesome, easy to use with the kids, and the congregation enjoys them very much! This is our 5th year using your programs and we just want to say 'thank you'!"

Rhonda R., St. Luke & St. John United Church of Christ

"'Christmas Step-by-Step' was perfect for our Sunday school children. The preschool girls loved whirling and twirling across the chancel to tell the good news. I have been looking for music that was easy yet fun to sing and still told the good news. May God continue to inspire you. God bless!"

Mary S., Prince of Peace Lutheran Church

"We did 'Christmas Step-by-Step' and it was great. Not only was it adorable but it was very age appropriate. The children picked up on the words in the songs and really sang out. Thank you."
