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 [email protected] 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.

Happy Wednesday everyone🥰. Thank you all for coming along today to Bagworth Community Centre🥰.

It is always lovely to see older siblings helping their younger sisters and cousins😍, and also great to see the older children taking appropriate toys to the very young ones in the group - lovely sharing❤️.

'Walking In The Jungle' - great listening for the animal sounds, and when we sang our 'Down In The Jungle' you were fantastic dancing along with your boogies and wiggles 🤣 - even the adults too🤣.

🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧Bubble time - everyone loves bubbles, and you were brilliant at popping, stamping and touching them as they all came floating down🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧.

🐦‍⬛ All eyes on the bird…
You were fantastic this morning - every single one of you sat so still, holding your instruments beautifully as you watched the little bird peck his way carefully down the pole. Such brilliant focus and patience!

And then… the moment he reached the bottom…
🎶 SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE!
You shook those instruments as loudly as you could 🪇🥁
Well done, everyone! 🥳.

🥳Happy 1st Birthday Samuel, we hope you enjoyed your special morning at Sign & Rhyme🥳. Great to see you getting used to tottering around 🥳. Enjoy the rest of your day🎈x

Sound box - you made some great 'elephant' 🐘sounds today, not the easiest animal sound to make, but you all did a great job of 'trumpeting' 🤣. Well done everyone🥳

The children did some more great animal sounds for our story
'Say Goodnight To The Sleepy animals'
Rory did some great Squeaks for the fieldmouse🐁
Nora did a lovely Moo sound for the cow🐄
Freya did a cute Whoo sound for the owl🦉
And we all did well with the dog, kittens and rabbits 🐕🐈🐇
🥳🥳🥳.

Fantastic actions at our circle songs🤣 - you are so good at jumping, twirling, clapping, stamping and sitting down for a well deserved rest😍. Well done Isla for choosing the actions for our Tip Toe song - FAN-TAS-TIC.🥳

Have a brilliant week, and I shall look forward to seeing you all next Wednesday - those of you going on holiday have a great time😎.

Have fun.

YAY, it's Incy Wincy’s Preschool - Bagworth day🥰.
So good to be back and see familiar faces and also some new faces too - nice to see one of our Sign & Rhymers who used to come to some of my sessions before, all grown up now🥰.

🥳Well done to the children who started off our singing and signing to our 'Hello' song - are you after my job🤣

😍😍😍
Damp, wet and a grey day😲- but not at Sign & Rhyme, we had a lovely happy morning with lots of smiles, tickles with giggles and lots of actions from our great families🥰. So pleased to see you all.

🎁🎁🎁
We have a new box 🤩!! This is called our 'sound box' and each week after a lot of anticipation, a child will reveal what is inside and then we will all make that sound🤣. Easy one today, but will next week be harder? 🤔Do pop along next Wednesday to find out🤩.

🪇🚦🪇
A big shout‑out to our Traffic Light Controllers this week - Nora 🥳 and Elsie 🥳! You both did a fabulous job keeping all our families on track: stopping everyone on RED, shaking away on GREEN, and going really, really slow on AMBER. Absolutely A‑MA‑ZING 😍

🚜🚜🚜
Story time was noisy with our 'Noisy Tractor🚜' book - the children were all very keen to press the buttons and listen to the sounds of the tractor🚜 with the loud engine🚜, the booming of the horn🚜 and the wheels going over the squelchy mud🚜. Well done🥳.

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

Have fun.

🥰We had a lovely session at Sign & Rhyme today at Bagworth Community Centre, so thank you all for coming along🥰

A big good luck to the children who have started school this week. We will miss you, and we know you will be great 🥰 xx

We saw wonderful early communication today - especially the lovely eye contact between one of our mums and her little boy as he chose 'I’m A Mean Old Dinosaur 🦖' for our circle song. We all love this song🥰

Our syllable clapping was brilliant too. Oliver led with Banana🍌 followed by Apples🍏 from Zak, Salmon🐟 from Rory, and Grapes 🍇from Freddie. Great listening, tapping and very healthy suggestions too🤣🥳

I think you all enjoyed our 'Peek - A - Boo' song❤️, lots of lovely smiles from everyone🥰.

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

Have fun
