Enjoy this Souvenir Activity book with puzzles, games and colouring pages for all the family to enjoy.

This publication began as a free download of six posters for families and teachers looking for BSL materials for revision of signs learned in classes to mark the historic event of the Coronation of King Charles 3rd on 6th May 2023 .

Downloading and printing is not readily available to everyone and it became evident that there was a need for a printed version – and so the six posters have grown into an activity booklet that can also be kept as a souvenir of this landmark occasion. It contains a mixture of colouring pages, wordsearches and fingerspelling puzzles.

The sign vocabulary includes:
King, Charles, 3rd, Coronation, Parade, Westminster Abbey, Street, Party, Cake, Picnic, Family, Friends, Horse, Gold, Carriage, Buckingham Palace, Royal Family, British, Flag, Red, White, Blue.

These are again listed with written descriptions in a Glossary at the back of the book along with the Fingerspelling Alphabet and Handshape Key.

The colouring pages have a blank reverse to avoid bleed-through
and there are a number of word puzzles to entertain individual and family groups with varying degrees of difficulty.

Children are able to communicate by signing before they develop the skills necessary for speech. By teaching simple sign language to children from as young as eight months, we can help them to convey their emotions and their needs. When children begin to talk, having sign language to fall back on provides a comforting safety net. Add to the fun of signing by singing well-known nursery rhymes and songs. Even proficient speakers will long enjoy signing to a favourite song or rhyme. Simple and clear signing instructions allow anyone to join in.
