Snowflakes, Snowflakes in Sign Language

Since it seems like the snow is falling more and more often these days, I’d like to introduce a fun and easy song that you can sing and sign with your child or students. For this particular song, you only need to sign the word snowflakes. It repeats often throughout the song, so children will hear the word frequently. This repetition will make it easier for them to recognize the word and understand its meaning.

 

To sign snowflakes, use the sign for snow. For this, start with your hands held up and wiggle your fingers as you bring your hands down, as if snowflakes are falling to the ground.

 

The following are the lyrics to the song, which is sung to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star:”

 

Snowflakes, snowflakes dance around

Snowflakes, snowflakes touch the ground

Snowflakes, snowflakes in the air

Snowflakes, snowflakes everywhere

Snowflakes, snowflakes dance around

Snowflakes, snowflakes touch the ground

 

This is a great activity to do with your child or students in order to get them moving around and more engaged in their learning experience. Plus, they will have a lot of fun with it. Enjoy the snow!
