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.

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 their 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 marie@signandrhyme.co.uk 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.

Thank you all for coming today🥰. It was lovely to see you. Apologies for my voice today, hopefully it will be better soon 😍.

I hope you are able to use the signs you learnt today with your little ones 🥰. Children can understand so much before they have the ability to speak, so learning just a few signs can make all the difference, and it can reduce frustration for you and your child.😍

There are a few important rules to remember when signing to your little ones -
🤗Always say and sign the word at the same time
🤗Use facial expression to convey meaning
🤗Be consistent, and be patient - your child needs to hear and understand words before they are able to use them - and this is the same with signing, it doesn't happen overnight

Once your children are consistent at saying/signing at one word level - 'Car', add another word 'Car gone' or 'Big car'. This helps to extend their language development. 🤗.

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

Have fun

We had a lovely time at Incy Wincy’s Preschool - Bagworth this morning🥰.

The children learnt some signing words 'MILK', 'ALL GONE', as well as 'BANANA, STRAWBERRY and FOOD' 🥳.

They did really good listening at story time, our books were 'Cock-a-moo moo' and ' Say hello to the animals'🥰We heard lots of lovely animal sounds too 😍.

Our sparkly box is back, and it was great to hear the children trying to guess what food was in the box🤔. We had - Chocolate🍫 , banana🍌 , cake🍰, apple🍏 and crisps. Yummy 😋.

I shall look forward to seeing you all next Tuesday🥰.

Have fun x

Happy Wednesday at Sign and Rhyme this morning ✨️. It was so lovely to see you all, and hearing about your Christmas 🎄.

Welcome to our new family today, we hope you both enjoyed the session 😊.

We had lots of fun with our songs, and instruments 🥰, and it was lovely to see one of our young girls helping her younger brother to play the drum 🥁 🙂

I think you enjoyed our circle songs, especially our Dinosaur song, when we had to try and catch the children 🤣, lots of giggles and squeals from you all, 🥰and then a nice relaxing one with Di**le Dangle 😴 FAB-U-LOUS XX

Thank you all for coming along 🥰. Looking forward to seeing you all next week 😀.

One of the boys asked if he could have the box - unfortunately I didn't have the box today, but as it has been requested I will bring it next week😍. I wonder what I shall put in it 🤔.

🎅Merry Christmas to everyone at Incy Wincy’s Preschool - Bagworth🎅. Sign & Rhyme had a great time there this morning with the children🎅.

It was lovely to see you all, and hear your beautiful voices😇. I liked your 🎅Ho, Ho Ho's for Santa🎅. Well done all of you🥳.
Thank you all for putting the baubles on Rudolph's antlers, he certainly looked very festive 🤩.

You did brilliantly at clapping/tapping out our Christmas words🥳. We had Christmas Tree🎄👏👏👏, Santa🎅👏👏, and Ginger Bread Man👏👏👏👏 FAN-TAS-TIC.

Happy Birthday to one of the boys who is 3 today🎈🎈🎈,hope you have a fantastic day 🤩.

We had a lot of festive Christmas songs at instrument time, and also some very loud banging of our drum🤣🥰.

Thank you for a really enjoyable morning🥰, and I hope you have a truly magical Christmas🎄.

Happy Wednesday everyone🤩. Thank you for coming to Sign & Rhyme today at Bagworth Community Centre🥰. It was great to see so many Christmas outfits🎄, you all looked FAB-U-LOUS🤩.

We welcomed a new family today, so hopefully we will see you both again next week🥰.

I love hearing all your animal noises when we do Row, Row🐊🦁, and I also love to see your actions for shivering for the penguin🐧. The best of all though is hearing you giggling when you are being tickled by your parents and grandparents😂.

It's great to see you all contemplating which item you are going to choose from a choice of 2 items 😍, 'mmm, shall I take the 'HORSE' or 'SANTA'?'🤔 It can be a tough decision sometimes🤔😂.

You seemed to enjoy our ❄️'Snowflake'❄️ song. First the snowflake was on your nose❄️, then your toes❄️, then your head❄️ - I wonder where you will put it next? 🤔Maybe in your hair, and then you can flutter it in the air❄️. Have fun❄️.

🎅It will be our last session next week before Christmas descends on us, so do pop along for more Christmas Cheer🎅.

I hope you have a great Christmassy week, and I shall look forward to seeing you all next Wednesday - ONLY 15 MORE SLEEPS TIL CHRISTMAS DAY😴X.

Have fun.
Marie😍x
