Happy Birthday, Jesus
Join the Powell family on Christmas Eve as they decorate their tree and discuss what the kids would like for Christmas. As they read about Jesus’ birth they are reminded of how baby Jesus was a gift for everyone. The Powell children realize they would each like to give Jesus a birthday gift this year, but what does someone get for the Son of God?


Running Time:
20 - 25 minutes
Cast Needs:
This play can be pulled off successfully with as few as 12 kids, 4 – 5 rehearsals, and less than $50. You will need 7 children of various ages for speaking
parts and the rest will sing in the choir – some can even double up when their speaking part is finished. We worked out simple hand motions for the choir to
perform that added a lot to the performance.
Characters: (Note: the kids’ gifts to Jesus (playing flute, singing a song) can be whatever fits with the kids in your church)
- Cindy Powell, Mom                                                                
- David Powell, Dad                                                                  
- Jessica Powell, Older Daughter                                                
- Abby Powell, Younger Daughter (needs to enjoy singing)          
Supplies Needed:
God’s Kids Worship White Christmas CD, or the Barrel of Carols Video DVD, or Data DVD from God's Kids Worship.   This will provide all the music you will
need. Any other supplies are up to you, depending on what you have and what you’d like the stage to look like. Here is how we set up our stage: We painted
a canvas backdrop with a lit fireplace (see backdrop idea on p. 6), but it’s not necessary. You’ll need a tree, mostly decorated set on the side and some
more ornaments for the characters to hang as they talk. A couch with a small table holding a plate of cookies & a Bible is nearby. You’ll also need several
blankets and 3 pillows. Our choir stood on the other side of the stage.
