EP26 What Christmas Means To Me Book & CD – KS2

EP26 What Christmas Means To Me KS2 score, script & audio CD.

This entertaining musical takes a witty yet thoughtful look at the characters and events that shape our experiences of the festive season. Laugh at the blind panic of last-minute shoppers, Christmas day early-risers eager to get their hands on what’s under the tree, Christmas-cracker addicts, and the ageing Rich Clifford’s annual challenge for the Christmas number one! But we also consider how Christmas came to be, and learn that all the trappings of our modern celebrations mean very little, unless we are able to share this time of year with our nearest and dearest.

Characters: Teacher – still ‘cracking the whip’ even though it’s the end of term
6 children – expecting to take it easy… how wrong they are
Checkout assistant – working on Christmas Eve
5 shoppers – frazzled and fed-up
June Chandler – a genteel daytime talk-show host
Rich Clifford – doddering old pop-star
The Bellafonté Sisters – be-bop backing singers
Early-rising child – eager to unwrap those pressies
2 parents – all they want’s a good night’s sleep
2 grandparents – fed and watered and ready to watch the Queen
2 cracker-pulling kids – addicted to paper crowns and bad jokes
4 diners (adults) – not averse to the odd cracker themselves
Nativity narrator – this part could be divided between 2, 3 or 4
