Christmas Rhyme is a lovely, simple Christmas production complete with a cast of traditional nursery rhyme characters.
Scene One: Humpty Dumpty
It's Christmas time in the Land of Rhyme but Humpty Dumpty is not feeling too festive after falling off a wall. All the King's Men call for the Doctor and Nurse who attempt to fix the scrambled egg. Enter Santa with a special present for Humpty that brings Christmas cheer to all.
Scene Two: Little Bo Peep
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep! The woolly wanderers sneaked off on the way to play in the meadow and now she doesn't know where to find them. They are soon reunited thanks to Santa and a special present for Bo Peep ensures that she will no longer have to seek her naughty sheep.
Scene Three: Mary, Mary
A group of gardeners are admiring Mary's garden full of beautiful silver bells, cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row. However, as the sun goes in and Jack Frost pays a visit, Mary's flowers are soon frozen and withered. Santa soon cheers Mary up with a special present to brighten up her window sill.
Scene Four: Little Miss Muffet
Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey, until two mischievous spiders decided to scare her! Taking pity on her, Santa gives her a special present that turn the tables on the unsuspecting eight legged rascals.
Scene Five: Polly Put The Kettle On
Polly put the kettle on but Sukey forgot to take it off again! The two waitresses were so busy serving customers that the kettle boiled dry. Tea is soon back on the menu again as Santa yet again saves the day with a very special present. What a clever Santa!

Christmas Rhyme
"Easy and fun songs to learn! Children along with adults could not stop singing the songs! As we are a Reception class we felt the script was a little too hard for the children, so we created out own simple script. This play would be ideal for a Year 1 class. I am looking to purchase another as I have used this for the last three years! Time for a new one! Looking forward to our next production! "Kristy Taylor , Chalgrove Primary School , London
