In our culture, the pastorela has its roots in the colonial era, when the missionaries used
the theatrical tradition of the Nahuatl culture in an educational way to spread
Christianity. These representations take on a new character to get out of the courts of
the churches to stage in the streets and squares, designed to show the customs and

a Christmas genuine Mexican. This is how this genre has become a good excuse to put
into the creativity and the ingenuity, in order to show the learning of students from first,
second and third grade through a cultural tradition as Christmas.

1. Now, students from first and second grade are acting in the PASTORELA.

Christmas carols refer only to these songs that recreate a passage or poem to remember
that Christmas is a season of love and peace throughout the universe.

originally written for Thanksgiving! The essence of a traditional Christmas is captured in
the lyrics of Jingle Bells and the sound effects using the bells have become synonymous
with the arrival of Father Christmas or Santa Claus to the delight of children of all ages!

5. Students from the second grade group D, will participate with the song
