The Nativity Song

I love the Nativity Song, it really does tell the entire story of Christ's birth.  On lds.org, they have the clip art to nativity scene from the 1980 December Friend.

You can print this out, color, laminate it and put it on sticks.  I have the lyrics written out as this is a long song (newsprint tablet).  As we sing the song, the person holding the particular stick that coordinates with the verse, comes into play until all the characters are together to create the Nativity scene.  This could be done with costumes as well, not using the clip art props.  This is a way to tell the story through song, getting audience participation.
