Makaton Signs - Dear Zoo Animals 🐍🐒🐸🐕🐘🐪🦒 Sometimes it is nice with stories to just pull out the key vocabulary for signing, depending on who you are with and what you might want to focus on etc. And it's lovely to bring in using symbols with the story too. We have added the symbols for each animal throughout the book, and also have story spoons to match them to ☺️ Lucinda & I are showing our story spoons today, and also sharing all the fun animals signs with you too! 🐍🐒🐸🐕🐘🐪🦒 #Makat

The theme for this week’s #Makaton topic video is FEELINGS & EMOTIONS. We’ve enlisted the help of fellow Makaton Charity Patron & all-round Makaton legend Dave Benson Phillips to join in with his wonderful facial expressions too 🤩 We know we are experiencing a very difficult time at the moment and might need some help expressing how we feeling. We’ve added in the concept of STRESSED (from Communication Link / BSL) as it’s a really useful one particularly for older children/teenagers & adults. H
