20-Minute Musical
Item #1080a – Digital format

Item #1080b – Paper copy

Say “Cheese” for Christmas is an easy preschool Christmas program that includes a narrated script and 6 preschool Christmas songs.

 

Baby Jesus was born on Christmas day.
Clap your hands.  Pat your knees. Everyone get ready, please!
Clap your hands.  Pat your knees. Everyone say, “Cheese!”

Your preschoolers are invited to be a part of the Christmas story as they pose for the pictures that Mary and Joseph take on their trip to Bethlehem:
. . . Mary took pictures of fellow travelers taking a “cheese” snack break.
. . . Joseph got a few shots of where they stayed and the animals that stayed with them.
. . . They both took snapshots of the shepherds that came to see the baby wrapped in cloth and lying in the manger.
. . . And of course, Mary and Joseph got lots of pictures of Jesus, the newborn Savior.
Your preschoolers will end by celebrating Immanuel – God’s promise to be with them every day of the week AND on every trip they take!

Best program ever

I can’t tell you how many times I heard “Best program ever!” after we did Say Cheese for Christmas for our preschool program.  We used our screen in the sanctuary to show the pictures.  The songs were so cute and easy for the kids to learn.  It was a great way for everyone to celebrate Christmas.  Thank you for writing such a good program.

Inside and out

This is my 4th program that I have ordered from you.  I just love these Christmas programs.  My preschool friends know the story of the birth of Jesus inside and out by the time Christmas arrives.  Thank you for always delivering quality Christmas programs that are appropriate for preschool children.
