Makaton Monday - Time ⏳
Today’s signs are all about time.
Now - both hands palms facing up, move from our ribs in one single downward motion.
Next - with the dominant hand in a fist, stick out your thumb to the side, then flick the wrist so your thumb moves away from the body.
Before - stick your thumb out on your dominant hand and move it from the front to the back of your non dominant fist (arm should be held at chest height).
After - using the same set up as before, but this time move your dominant hand from behind (your non dominant fist) to in front.
Tomorrow - using your dominant hand point your index finger and move it from your shoulder forward.
Yesterday - using your dominant hand point your index finger and move it from in front of your shoulder backwards (towards the shoulder).
Next week - hold your non dominant hand out flat (fingers pointing to the right/left, thumb on top) and with the index finger of your dominant hand, make a sweeping motion from the non dominant thumb towards the fingers.
Last week - exactly the same set up as next week but this time make the motion from the tip of the fingers to the thumb, then using the whole dominant hand, make a sweeping motion over your shoulder.
Next year - making an arch with the dominant hand, make a forwards motion from the shoulder outward, then finger spell Y.
Last year - using the same set up as next year, but instead of motioning forward, motion backward toward the shoulder then finger spell Y.
Early/earlier - use your non dominant hand as the clock face (palm facing outward, fingers pointing up) and using the index finger of the dominant hand as the hands of the clock, move from the little finger towards the thumb.
Late/later - using the same set up as early but this time move the index finger in the opposite direction (from the thumb to the pinkie).
Let me know what you want to see next!
