Q. I am a primary teacher and was wondering if Scoilnet has a section on Christmas or nativity plays?
A. There is no specific section as such covering this genre. However, the Primary Teachers Resource Finder does contain curriculum focused resources for many aspects of Drama - classified under the topics of Reflecting; Exploring & Making; and Communicating.
The following specific links on Scoilnet might be of some help:
The Littlest Christmas Tree, a short simple play ideal for junior and senior infants. New
