About the workshop

Using Makaton with Singing is a fun and easy way to learn to use signs with singing. Signing and singing have been shown to encourage the development of communication and language skills and are beneficial for vocalisation, confidence, social skills, emotional development, well-being and self-esteem. In this workshop, you will learn up to 100 signs and have fun practising them in songs adapted for different levels of ability. This online workshop will use a backing track when it comes to singing the nursery rhymes, due to the variability of Internet speeds. You will pop yourself on mute and can therefore sing to your heart’s content in the safety of your own home!

The workshop will focus on:

  • choice-making
  • objects of reference and symbols
  • the inclusion of children who are pre or non-verbal
  • adapting the songs to cater for different levels of ability
  • vocabulary and concept learning
  • learning how to adapt a song and use one song to fulfil a number of aims.
  • using props (such as blow-up instruments and puppets)
  • expanding the songs into craft ideas and so much more!
