Nativity Costume Guide Printable | Easy Homemade Nativity Costumes, Learning Lines & the Christmas Story for Kids | School Play Help

The note comes home in a book bag: your child is a shepherd, and the costume is needed by Thursday. Everything for the home side of the school or church nativity — twelve costumes from what is already in the house, a line-learning method that works without tears, how to settle nerves on the night, and the real Christmas story told for your child, with the verses, so they know what they are acting out.

What's Inside

• Twelve costumes from things already in the house — shepherd, angel, Mary, Joseph, wise man, innkeeper, star, donkey, sheep, narrator and more
• A five-night method for learning lines, plus what to do if they have no lines at all
• Settling nerves on the night: what to say in the car, and what to say afterwards
• The Christmas story told for children, part by part, with every verse (KJV)
• A fill-in page: my part, my lines, my costume list
• A4 and US Letter, black & white

How It Works

Read the costume page the night the note comes home. Use the five-night line plan in the week before. Read the story together at bedtime so your child knows who they are playing and why it matters.

Perfect For

Parents and grandparents of children in a school, nursery or church nativity; Sunday-school leaders sending a note home; homeschool families putting on their own.

The story section follows Luke 1–2 and Matthew 1–2 in the Holy Bible (KJV), with references.
