The Multilingual Nativity
A festive celebration of languages, culture, and Christmas joy!
Looking for a Nativity that’s truly unique? The Multilingual Nativity is a vibrant, inclusive take on the traditional Christmas story—with a global twist! Written by AL Hodgson, this joyful production features a mixture of six traditional and original songs that weave in German, French, Spanish, English, and British Sign Language (BSL)—making it a perfect way to blend music, language learning, and performance into one magical experience.
Whether you want to showcase your pupils' language skills or simply introduce them to something new, this Nativity offers flexibility at every turn. The script is highly adaptable, allowing lines to be shared to suit your cast size and needs. As narrators tell the story, the rest of the cast brings the scenes to life on stage—fun, inclusive, and accessible for all abilities. Click here to view a sample of the script.
Each song includes optional simplified foreign language lines, perfect for younger performers or schools just starting their language journey. Plus, there’s a world of online resources available to support the BSL elements, helping your cast shine with confidence.
