Who did you play in the school nativity?

Volunteer Section Leader, Clearing and Applications Advisor

Many infants and juniors around the UK will be rehearsing for their school's nativity. An annual tradition in many Christian-leaning primary schools, which character did you play?

Did your school do a non-conventional Christmas show?

I was the inn-keeper's wife like two nativities in a row, oddly enough had more lines than the inn keeper himself.

Usually the donkey or a manger cow.
Once ended up as the camel carrying the gifts from the 3 kings.

In Reception, I was the innkeeper's wife but I was so terrible at it (plus they thought I had a nice speaking voice/read well) that all the subsequent years I was narrator :rofl:
