Learn Baby Sign Language - Thanksgiving

 

With Thanksgiving coming up in just a few weeks, I thought it would be great to share a great Thanksgiving song that you can sing and sign with your child or pre-school classroom (and have fun learning baby sign language at the same time). For this particular song, you will need to know the following signs:

 

Thanks– Bring your hand from your chin and direct it towards the person you are thanking.

Thankful– This will be the same as “thanks,” but use both hands

Sun– Make a circle in the air above you and then open your fingers to point down on you like the sun’s rays

Moon- Make a crescent shape with your pointer finger and thumb next to your eye and extend it out toward the sky

Friends– Link your pointer fingers together and again the other way

Family– Sign the letter F with both hands by making a circle with your pointer finger and thumb. Then, form a circle in front of you with your hands

See– Bring your pointer and middle finger out from near your eye

 

This song is sung to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star:”

 

“Let’s Be Thankful”

Thank you for the sun so bright

Thank you for the moon at night

Thanks for friends that play with me

Thank you for my family

Thanks for all that I can see

I am thankful yes indeed

 

This is a fun song to sing during the Thanksgiving holiday season. Children will have fun singing the song and they will be learning more signs as well.
