Sign & Rhyme

Sign & Rhyme Fun and playful baby and toddler signing and singing groups with songs, musical instruments and stories to develop early interactive skills Hello – I’m Marie.
(7)

My experience as a speech and language therapy assistant, coupled with my signing skills (British Sign Language Stage 2), sparked my enthusiasm for baby signing. I’ve been teaching baby signing for some time now, and I can appreciate the benefits for both you and your child: it’s a fun and rewarding way to make the most of your baby’s natural ability to communicate; it encourages and supports thei

r language development - you will always use signs together with the spoken word - giving them a head start when they begin to use their vocabulary, spelling and reading skills; and it strengthens the bond between you and your child.

🥰 Babies can understand so much before they actually talk, and baby signing enables them to communicate their emotions and needs effectively. Your ability to understand these needs through simple signs gives you the confidence to respond appropriately and helps to reduce frustration for you and your baby. The learning process is great fun, too and the classes are relaxed and friendly. Please call 07710 217466 message me via Facebook or email [email protected] if there’s any further information that you want to discuss, or for details of future course dates. My classes run at Bagworth Community Centre, Station Road, Bagworth LE67 1BH.

🥰 Weekly ‘Song in a Bag’ sessions. Age range birth to five years - £5 per session or £22.00 for five weeks (please note there are no refunds given for missed sessions if you pay in five week blocks.) Lots of fun for you and your little ones. Interactive session of signing and singing, musical instruments and so much more for you all to enjoy.


🥰 Five-week baby signing course to include handouts, £40, payable in advance. Age range 6months to twelve months. Learn specific signs to use with your baby in their daily routine. Lots of fun for you and your baby, a very interactive session for you all to enjoy.

Lovely to see familiar faces and also some new faces too 🥰. It was great to see you all again 😍.

Very active with our circle songs - lots of stamping feet (in a fun way 🤣) and also everyone enjoying turning round😵‍💫 and round😵‍💫 - were you giddy? Well done everyone🥳.

Looking forward to seeing you again soon. 🥰

Thank you all for coming to Sign & Rhyme today, it was lovely to see you again 🥰.

A warm welcome to our new families 🤗, I hope you enjoyed the session, and hopefully we will see you again soon 😍.

We continued with our 'colour' theme, and today it was 'GREEN', so when you are out and about with your little ones see if they can spot some green cars/vans🚐🚐 , green leaves🌿🌿 (before they change colour 🤣), some green clothing that they may be wearing 👕👕or some green apples🍏🍏 that they may be eating. Whatever you do I hope you have lots of fun💚💚.

I hope you enjoyed our new addition to Sign & Rhyme - Chloe the clown 👀. You were all so good at keeping very quiet so that she could pop up to say 'hello'. Well done all of you 🥳.

Have a great week and I shall look forward to seeing you all again next Wednesday 🥰.

Take care.

So good to be back at Bagworth Community Centre for Sign & Rhyme this morning 🥰. You have all grown up so much 🥰.

We wish our young boys all the very best as they start their new journey to Preschool and Nursery 🤩. We will miss you, but hope you make lots of new friends and learn lots of amazing new things - do come back and see us in the school holidays 🥰🥳.

We had a very enjoyable morning, signing and singing to lots of songs, and had great fun with our instruments 🤣.

We learnt some 'colour' signs for when your little ones start putting words together - red car, red bus etc. Then when they have mastered putting 2 words together you can introduce more words - Big red bus or Little blue car etc.

For an activity to reinforce colours 🚗🥎🥣🦖collect a few items of the same colour from around the house and put the items into a bag or box 🎁. Then sit with your child and take it in turns to take something out and have a chat about it. Chatting about what it is, what colour, the size of it, what it is used for, what does it feel like etc. Make it as fun and interesting as you can 🥳🥳. Lots of language opportunities with this activity.

I hope you have a great week and I shall look forward to seeing you all next Wednesday 🥰🥰.

Good morning everyone 🥰I hope you are all ok and enjoying the holidays😍.

Children love crafts, so if you want to be creative have a go at making some binoculars with your little ones - it will be so much fun for you all🤩.
You will be able to use these anywhere - outdoors and indoors👀.

If you are planning a visit to Twycross Zoo, take them there too and see how many animals they can spot - so much to see there, and the Lego Animal structures are A-MAZ-ING. 🥳.

I hope you have lots of fun - please feel free to take a photo of their binoculars to show me their masterpieces 🥰🥰.

Enjoy

We had lots of young children, starting to crawl, starting to walk, older siblings helping them choose their props and instruments, and older children saying hello to everyone - so lovely to see these moments in their development and seeing them having fun at the same time ❤️.

We said another warm hello to a new family today, and we hope you will enjoy coming to Sign & Rhyme 🥰🥰.

🥳🥳Happy Wednesday everyone🥳🥳.
Thank you for coming to Sign & Rhyme this morning at Bagworth Community Centre, it was lovely to see you all🥰.

It's great to see older siblings attending during the summer holidays, as we get to see how much they have grown from their days at Sign & Rhyme 😍😍. Also lovely to meet our new family today, we look forward to seeing you both again next week. 🙂.

One of our boys was very excited to see the lawn being cut outside, and he loved telling us all about it - 'Coming down here', 'Going In corner' 'Gone down there' 'Gone now'. 🥰🥳🥰. He will be 2 next week 🥰. Happy Birthday 🎈🎈 and we all hope you enjoy your special day 🎈🎈.

We had lots of fun with the drum, even one of our grandmas had a go 🥰. Story time was all about making animal noises - not so sure about the donkey noise 🤣but we had some lovely 'Quacks' and 'Woofs' 🐤🐹.

I hope you all have a great week, and I shall look forward to seeing you all next Wednesday 🥰🥰.

As always we had a delightful morning with our Sign & Rhyme group at Bagworth 🥰🥳🥰🥳.

We welcomed a new family, and a new baby sister for one of our little boys ❤️❤️. A warm welcome to you all. xx

I had a lovely little helper today who helped me to take the instruments round to all the families, and he also waited patiently for the other children to choose what they would like❤️.
Well done🥳

🥳🥳Well done to one of our younger boys who entertained us at music time with his enthusiasm for playing his musical instruments 🥳🥳. Pure magic 🥰.

Thank you all for taking part in our Sea Activity, I think you will agree the children loved being 'Under the Sea' 🤣🤣❤️❤️.

Many thanks again for coming to my Sign & Rhyme group, it is always a pleasure to see you all ❤️.

Looking forward to seeing you all again next Wednesday🥰.

So many things you can create with cardboard boxes x. Great fun for your little ones, and they will have amazing ideas of what they want to create, plus, have hours of fun doing it. Enjoy x

The endless fun you can have with something as simple as cardboard…📦

Get creative with some cost-effective play. Not only are art and craft activities packed with sensory experiences to inspire your little one, but they are a fun and relaxed way to spend time together.

🥰🥰A fun time had by all at Incy Wincy’s Preschool - Bagworth this morning 🥰🥰.

We had lots of guesses as to 'what was in the box', and one of the girls got it on the last clue 'it has stripes' 🐝. Well done to everyone who tried to guess what it was.🥳🥳

We had some great singing and signing to 'Old McDonald' and also some lovely suggestions for different animals on the farm 🐖🐄🐑😍.

Parachute time - the children were very enthusiastic with this activity 🤣. They loved hiding underneath the parachute, and we had lots of giggles and squeals when we raised the parachute to find them. Good listening and waiting for your names to be called out for your turn to hide underneath 🥰🥳.

Enjoy the sunshine 🌞 and I shall look forward to seeing you again soon 🥰.

The children were amazing singing and signing to our songs, and choosing what animal we should sing about next 🐷🐷🐮🐤. We also had one of our boys doing some great listening to my clues about what was in our sparkly box, he guessed it right 🐝. Well done all of you 🥳🥳.

We loved our circle songs 😍, shaking our bottoms 🤣 and shoulders, and waving our arms and stamping our feet. 🥳🥳. We also enjoyed wobbling to 'Jelly on the Plate'🤣🤣

Thank you for a very enjoyable time at Thornton Playgroup this afternoon. 😍😍.

The children were very good at counting as one of the younger boys took the teddies out of the Toybox 🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸. Well done all of you🥳.

We also had lots of fun with our sea activity. The children loved trying to get the fish to jump out of the water 🐟- he went really high 🤣🤣. They were also very good at making gentle waves 🌊 in the sea activity, and better still making big waves as a storm was coming 🌊🌊🤣.

I hope you all have a lovely summer holiday and hopefully I will see you again in September 🥰🥰.

Take care

Hi everyone, thank you all for coming today🥰.

We had a lovely time, the children did some great waiting for their turns, and were very good at sharing the drum, passing it around the circle eager to know whose turn it was next 🤣🥳. We have some great musicians in our group who love playing their instruments enthusiastically 🤩🤩. Well done everyone 🥳🥳.

As it is Father's Day on Sunday we had a lovely story -
'Just Like Daddy' ♥️♥️
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY for Sunday, we hope you all enjoy your special day and have lots of hugs 🥰🥰.

Lots of lovely moments at Incy Wincy’s Preschool - Bagworth this morning 🥰🥰.

One of the young girls there this morning did a great job of helping me run the Sign & Rhyme session🤩. As we passed the drum around she asked the person whose turn it was if they wanted the 'blue sticks' or 'yellow sticks' for beating the drum 🥳. By showing them the sticks the child was able to ask/reach or point to the ones they wanted 🥰. This was brilliant to watch as it showed her confidence, her patience while she waited for the child to choose and it was great for her language development too ☺️. What a superstar ⭐️. I think she is after my job 🤣🤣.

We also had some great listening at our musical time, the children had to 'Stop & Listen' while the next instruction was given for how to play their instruments - 'shake', 'tap', 'quiet' and 'loud' . Well done to you all 🥳🥳.

Story time was fun too, the children really engaged with the story - 'Boo Hoo Baby'. They remembered what the animals did to try and stop the baby from crying, and were keen to say what animal it was when I made the animal noise 🐮🦆🐕🐈.

Thank you for a lovely session 🥰. I shall look forward to seeing you all again soon.🤩🤩
