We've gone through our collection to find four fantastic last-minute holiday plays perfect for every grade level.
A Christmas Surprise (Lower Grades)
This charming play is perfect for younger students. The story follows a group of woodland animals who discover a mysterious, beautifully wrapped present. It’s a heartwarming tale of curiosity and friendship that captures the holiday spirit. With simple lines and staging, this is one of our most popular Christmas plays for lower grades.
Turkey, Anyone? (Middle Grades)
For a humorous take on the holiday, this Thanksgiving play is a perfect fit for middle schoolers. The plot centers on a chaotic family dinner where the turkey mysteriously vanishes. It combines comedy with a sweet message about what's truly important. This script for school plays offers many fun roles and is always a crowd-pleaser.
A Christmas Carol, Too! (Middle/Upper Grades)
We love this fresh adaptation of the classic tale, ideal for middle or younger high school students. The script retains the story's core message while adding modern humor and flexible casting options. It’s a fantastic way to introduce students to a timeless story while managing a last-minute production schedule for your school.
Christmas on the Air (Upper Grades)
Transport your high school actors back to the 1940s with this "radio-show-within-a-show." The cast of a radio program must scramble when a blizzard traps them in the studio on Christmas Eve. It's full of nostalgia and comedy. This play offers a unique challenge for student actors and is perfect for a holiday showcase.
