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.

Making treasure baskets is lots of fun for you and your little ones. Have fun 👍 x

We had a lovely session of Sign & Rhyme this morning at Bagworth Community Centre🥰. Thank you for coming along 🥰.

We have finished our 'Transport' theme now - but don't worry as we will revisit our transport songs again🥳. It has been great seeing you getting involved, and being interested in the 'Transport box and our 'On The Move' board🥳. Maybe you could make a transport box at home, and take it in turns to guess what is in the box 😍. Lots of fun for you all.

Lots of smiles and giggles today as we did our Dino Poky circle song🦖🦖as you 'stomped' your scaly feet, 'scratched' with your sharp claws and 'roared' your loudest roars 🤣🤣.

It has been lovely to hear you say, or gesture for which song you would like to sing when given two choices to choose from 🥰🥰.

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Reminder - it is HALLOWEEN WEEK so we will have lots of Halloween songs for you all next Wednesday so do dress up if you would like to🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃.

I hope you all enjoy the rest of the week, and I shall look forward to seeing you all next Wednesday 🥰.

Have fun.

WHAY, HAY HAY - its happy Wednesday 🥳🥳.
Thank you all for coming today and joining in with all our activities 🥰.

We had lots of interest from the children with the 'Digger' mat 🤣, and lovely to hear mums labelling the parts of the digger to their little ones 🤩.

Music time was fun with our 'Traffic Light' sign -you are getting sooo good shaking your instruments very slowly when the amber light is showing🚦.

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

A reminder - SIGN & RHYME WILL BE RUNNING NEXT WEDNESDAY IN HALF TERM🥰. OLDER SIBLINGS ARE WELCOME IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO COME ALONG TOO 🥰

'Hip Hip Hooray' - it's Incy Wincy day - 🥳.

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

The children did lots of lovely signing and singing to our songs, - and guess what, I didn't know that the Daddy's on the bus 🚌bounce up and down 😂I always thought they went to sleep!!🤣.

Our transport box is a favourite with the children - it's so lovely to hear them say what they think may be in the box - well done all of you for your great ideas🥳. They also like putting their chosen vehicles on our 'On The Move Board'. 🥳

We had fun with our large Transport Ball, so much so that Laura is going to borrow it so that all the children can have another turn with it at Incy Wincy 🤩.

I hope you all have a great Half Term and I shall look forward to seeing you all again after your holiday 🥰.

Have fun.

Thank you all for coming today for Sign & Rhyme at Bagworth Community Centre - you were all A-MA-ZING 🥳

We had some really beautiful signing and singing today from our young Sign & Rhymers😍. One of our lovely girls did the sign for 'HELICOPTER', 🚁and she also did some great syllable clapping for 'TRACTOR' 🚜. 🥳Well done x

We had a very helpful boy who helped a younger boy choose an item, and he also gave a little girl a hug as she jumped when somebody sneezed because he thought it had scared her ❤️.

Lovely to see two little girls making friends by holding each others hands for 'Row Row'❤️❤️.

I think they all liked the Noisy Tractor' book. It was so lovely to see them eagerly waiting for them to press the buttons to hear the noisy sounds🚜. 🥳Well done x

Lots of lovely sharing and turn taking, and lovely seeing you having lots of fun too ❤️.
It is so lovely to see all these special moments at the group❤️.

Thank you for a lovely morning 😍. I shall look forward to seeing you all again next Wednesday - for those of you that will be on holiday we hope you all have a lovely time 🥰.

Have fun.

Another lovely session at Incy Wincy’s Preschool - Bagworth this morning🥳.

I heard some great noises, and lovely singing and signing to 'The Fish and Crabs in the Sea' song 🐟🐟🦀🦀. Well done all of you 🥳 .

You were all very vocal with our 'Transport Box' and 'On The Move' board. You liked naming what you saw on the transport box, and then trying to guess what was actually in the box - BRILLIANT🤩.
Thank you all for sitting, and waiting patiently to see what the next child would choose to put on the board - AWESOME 🤩.

Great clapping out the names of vehicles - Fire engine 🚒👏👏👏👏, Tractor🚜👏👏 and train🚂👏. You are getting soooooo good at this 😍. Well done.

As always thank you for a lovely morning with you all 😍.

Looking forward to seeing you all next Tuesday🤩.

Have fun.

Happy Friday everyone 🥰. The damp wet morning ☂️didn't stop us from having fun at Incy Wincy’s Preschool - Bagworth🥰because we all had a great time despite the weather😍.

The little girl's face lit up with excitement and said 'WOW' when she was told that it was her turn for the box - and she even guessed that it was a 'TRAIN' Well done 🥳.

The children enjoyed putting the vehicles on our interactive board, and it was great to hear one of the young boys saying 'BRUMM', BRUMM' as he pushed the car along the board. Well done all of you🥳.

We did great clapping out of different vehicles, we had 'TRAIN' 🚂👏and 'AEROPLANE'✈️👏👏👏. I could here some of your speech sounds as you tried to say the words as well as clapping the word out. A big well done to you all 🥳.

Music time was great especially with our 'Traffic Light' song 🚦. You did great shaking your instruments for GREEN🟢, stopping shaking them for 'RED🔴', and then shaking them really, really slow for AMBER🟠. Well done all of you 🥳.

Thank you for a really enjoyable morning 🥰. I shall look forward to seeing you all next Tuesday for more Sign & Rhyme fun 🥰

Enjoy splashing in all those puddles - especially with your boots on 🥾🤣

Take care.

YAY🥳, it's Wednesday. Thank you all for coming to Sign & Rhyme this morning at Bagworth Community Centre🥰.

We all had fun with our 'On The Move' topic 🏎. The children enjoyed choosing their vehicles to put on our interactive board, and they loved playing with the train set. The noisy transport jigsaw was funny as it went off at random times - it also goes off at random times in my car, and then I am looking for an ambulance🚑 or fire engine🚒 in case I need to pull over 🤣.

One of our young girls looked lovely in her builders hat as we sang the 'Digger' song'🥰.

Well done to the parents and grandparents who lifted the children up really high as we sang our 'Fly Like A Rocket' song'🚀.

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

Have fun 😍

Happy Wednesday everyone 🤩. What a lovely session we had at Sign & Rhyme this morning at Bagworth Community Centre 🤩.

The children had a lovely time playing with our Autumn leaves as they tumbled to the ground (the leaves not the children 🤣)
🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂They enjoyed watching the leaves come tumbling down, gathering them up into a pile, and then they had lots of fun jumping into the pile of leaves that they had made 🥰.
🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂. Great fun

We had some great syllable clapping today 😍. We had crisps 👏one clap, and broccoli 👏 👏👏 3 claps. Well done all of you🥳.

Our 'Row Row' song is getter longer, we have now introduced a tiger🐯 and a dinosaur🦖, at this rate we will be there all morning🤣, but we don't mind because it is so lovely to hear the children requesting what they would like to have added to our songs 🥰.

The children liked our Dizzy Dinosaur book today 🦖. You will see from our lovely photos how very attentive they were 🥰.

I hope you enjoy taking a peek at our lovely photos from today🥰.

Have fun and I shall look forward to seeing you all next Wednesday.

Take care.
