Instead you seem to have the four foodgroups - and apparently 
strongarm parents into making the costumes.

In Norway, most schools don't have nativity-plays as such (even if we 
do have a state-church) - instead they put on a variety-performance, 
which will include skits, songs, and elements from what would be part 
of a nativity-play if there was one.  The entire school is involved, 
but not everyone onstage - there would always be some who'd refuse to 
go onstage, and instead got backstage-duties.
