Instructional Ideas

• Because there are only nine speaking parts consider creating tasks (a chorus, dance troupe, and set builders, perhaps?) to involve the rest of the class

Classroom Considerations

• Preview the script, paying close attention to the dialogue and characterizations, before deciding to use the script in a class production

Pros

• The activity asks kids to focus on the spirit behind the holiday

Cons

• Although the script closely follows that used in the 1965 Christmas animated television special, some of the wording is a little harsh
