Top tips for learning lines for your Christmas play
Watch: CBeebies presenter Evie gives advice on how to learn lines (2021)
School plays are a great way to celebrate everything you've learned and to have fun with your friends before the Christmas holidays begin.
It's your chance to shine on stage (or backstage) and show off your creative side.
But remembering what you've got to say, or sing, isn't always as easy as it looks.
CBeebies presenter Evie has lots of experience in this area and has some good advice for all you budding actors out there.
She recommends first of all reading the whole script or the full scene you're in, in order to familiarise yourself with the story.
Evie also advises writing out your lines. Then you can pop them on your wall or keep them close by so that you can look over them as much as you want.
Don't forget that lots of practise is key! You can either do this with friends or family - or on your own in front of the mirror if you prefer.
But the most important rule of all is to have fun. Enjoy the process of practising your lines and stepping into your character.
Don't forget to let us know in the comments below what festive performance you're getting ready for at school and which role you're playing.
