Dear Parent/Teacher,
We really hope you and the children enjoy the performance of The
Night Before Christmas and have lots of fun at the workshop. Take
some of the fun and magic from the show back home or into the
classroom with this activity pack, full of drama based activities
including quizzes, crafts and games. The activities in this pack have
been designed to support and extend the children’s visit to the theatre
and offer pre and post show activities that explore the themes in the
play.
Merry Christmas!
