Sign Language
Ask a Question
Hi with lockdown again and homeschooling am thinking of teaching the little ones basic sign language.
I know mr tumble does it was wondering if you know of any good apps with video guide
Ann1984 there are a few on you tube, make sure you follow BSL (British Sign Language) or contact them for a downloadable sheet. Your left hand are the vowels from thumb A E I O U. Index and middle finger of right hand laid on palm of left = N. You have an easy name, point to your left thumb A then tap palm with two fingers twice N N and you have A N N. If you have an E on your name point to index finger on left hand - simples 
Ann1984 You are welcome. If you look at here you can type in a word and it converts to sign https://lingojam.com/BritishSignLanguageTranslator
Ann1984 Look what I just found https://www.latestfreestuff.co.uk/free-household-stuff/free-british-sign-language-fridge-magnets/
Ann1984 Draft. https://www.british-sign.co.uk/bsl-british-sign-language/product/fingerspelling-fridge-magnets/ I used to have some unfortunately can't find them 
YouTube has loads of useful channels, don’t make the same mistake I did and watch American sign. 
There are video on YouTube teaching how to sign to songs learning is easier when fun.
Cartoon taught me more Spanish than 5 years of high school French lol
My daughter is learning sign language she started it in school when they went back she loves it
https://british-sign.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044794654-Coronavirus-Crisis-Pay-What-you-Can . Does this help ? 
Ann1984 Some will enjoy some wont but I would rather RS went over French or Spanish
Ann1984 Have you found any more information on BSL? Here is the alphabet chart https://www.britishsignlanguage.com/fingerspelling-alphabet/
We been watch baby and toddler YouTube channels for beginners some is pretty fun and easy
When i first learnt sign language..over 20 years ago now...would you believe it was different from place to place..i lived in Preston at the time but if i say went to Newcastle it was a little bit different..even then they were working on making it the same everywhere in the uk..the alphabet stayed the same. Which i taught my daughters and in turn learnt my granddaughter..but i think mr.tumble has to be a great start.
I think that would be great to teach ur kids sign language, it should be taught more often
There is also singalong which is makaton which uses both speech, signs and symbols. Facebook there is the sign along with us group whom was on BGT and also there is Isabella signs, both are fantastic and worth a look.
