WHAT
A lightning-fast, joyful, kid-friendly retelling of the birth of Jesus, performed in just three minutes. The narrator tells the story in simple, modern language while children quickly act out each moment: Mary and Joseph traveling, the manger, the shepherds, the angel, and the wise men. Fast transitions keep the energy high and the kids engaged.
