Baby Sign Language PlaygroupStop guessing what your baby is trying to tell you and start spending more time fulfilling your child's specific needs. Baby Sign Language gives parents the opportunity to communicate with children long before babies can verbalize their wants and needs. Research studies show that signing with babies accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration and aggressive behavior, and as children mature, results in a greater interest in reading. Out of all the wonderful benefits of baby sign language, the most important benefit of all is that signing will greatly deepen the bond between you and your child.
What you will learnThis 6-week series class is a fun opportunity for you to build your signing vocabulary with themes like mealtime, animals, colors, family, bedtime, and more! We've split 18 sessions into three different six-day series named after the primary colors: Red, Yellow, and Blue. No need to take them in order. Just dive in and start learning now.
Our Introductory Workshop is recommended prior to taking a playgroup series unless you are already familiar with American Sign Language (ASL). New 2020 Themes ~ RED, YELLOW, BLUE In the past we've offered two Playgroup Series named Boom and Zoom. Parents have been asking us to add a third series for years. So, ....drum roll.... In 2020 we are thrilled to announce that we are expanding our program and offering three different playgroup series. RED SERIES (Similar to our old Boom Series) Day #1 Magic 7* Signs plus Mealtime Red Day #2 Colors and Clothing Day #3 Animals on the Farm Day #4 Bathtime Signs Day #5 Weather Signs Day #6 Family Signs and Series Review YELLOW SERIES Day #1 Magic 7* Signs plus Mealtime Yellow Day #2 Colors and Garden Critters Day #3 Animals in the Zoo Day #4 Safety and Senses Day #5 Feelings and Emotions Day #6 Opposites and Series Review BLUE SERIES (Similar to our old Zoom Series) Day #1 Magic 7* Signs plus Mealtime Blue Day #2 Ocean Animals Day #3 Things that go Zoom Day #4 Bedtime Signs Day #5 Playtime and Manners Day #6 Woodland Animals and Series Review * Magic 7 signs are the basic starter signs Not everyone may be able to make it to all the classes. With vacations and unexpected illnesses it's rare that everyone attends every playgroup. For this reason we have formatted each hour long lesson plan to spend thirty minutes reviewing all the vocabulary that we learned the previous week. Happy Baby Signs does not offer make up classes. You are welcome to bring your baby, but it is not required. |
