Get ready for a sign-tastic singalong with "The More We Get Together"!
This video is all about learning the ASL signs for "more," "together," "happy," and "friends" - perfect for building a strong foundation in sign language with your preschoolers. ️
But the learning doesn't stop there! Here's why incorporating ASL into your little one's routine is a win-win:
💖 Social-Emotional Boost: Sign language fosters a sense of inclusion and celebrates communication diversity. It's a fun way to connect with others and build empathy!
🫱🏻Tiny Hands- Big Signs!
1. Independent Finger Isolation:
"More": Extending the index finger with the other fingers curled promotes independent finger control.
"Happy": Raising the corners of the mouth with two separate fingers encourages isolation and coordination.
2. Wrist Flexibility and Dexterity:
"Together": Bringing the thumbs and pinkies together while keeping the other fingers extended requires controlled wrist movement and manipulation.
"Friends": Placing the open palm facing another requires wrist rotation and controlled placement.
3. Strengthening Grasp and Release:
"More": The repeated opening and closing motion of the hand to form the "more" sign strengthens grasping and releasing abilities.
"Together": Bringing the index fingers together and then separating them works the muscles responsible for controlled grasping and release.
🗣️Language Powerhouse: Signing alongside singing reinforces early language development. This multi-sensory approach helps kids grasp new vocabulary and concepts.
So, grab your little ones, crank up the volume, and get ready to sign, sing, and have a blast! Remember, the more we learn together, the happier we'll be! 😉
