I'm delighted to share something very special with you—my first original song, The Morning Song!
This song, written and performed by my husband John and me, along with some help from our talented musician friends, was created especially for children in Ireland who use Lámh signs to communicate.
For those unfamiliar, Lámh is a manual sign...
Time To Go Home Song (With Lámh Signs)
In today's blog, I will teach you the last of the three songs I recorded recently; Time To Go Home. I learned this song from a speech therapist I worked with many years ago, I loved this song, and to this day, I sing it to children at the end of their visits with me at the clinic.
I sing it every time for the little ones, so when...
The Clean Up Song (With Lámh Signs)
Last week you learned the signs for the Happy Birthday song. This week, I have another song plus tutorial for you.
Today, you will learn the Lámh signs for The Clean Up song.
If you work with young children, you most likely use this song to get your kids to put things away. If you didn't know this song before, you will see your kids...
I have recorded 3 new songs for you!
This week, I had fun recording three songs with Lámh signs in our studio.
More than likely, you often sing these songs at home and in the classroom.
We are going to do one song a week for the next three weeks (Coinciding with the last three weeks of the school term)
The songs are:
Happy birthday.
Clean Up.
Time To Go Home.
The first song we are...
Since I did the song Days Of The Week with Lámh signs, many people mentioned how much the kids enjoy singing the song with signs, which I am delighted to hear!
Also, I am receiving messages asking to include certain signs in the Sign Of The Week.
One of the signs people ask is, “can you teach us signs for weather?” so in this video, I will be demonstrating those.

Welcome to Sing & Sign.
Children can begin to associate activities that happen on different days. For example, on Mondays, they go back to school, on Fridays, there is no homework, and on Wednesdays, they do P.E. in school.
Even if they haven’t fully grasped the concept of time, they learn to associate different days with different activities.
In this video, I show you the signs for...
You Won’t Be Cold Anymore With Lámh Signs.
Last year, I recorded one of Mr Tumble´s songs with Lámh signs. Many parents and teachers commented on how helpful that was, so I recorded an updated version of it so more teachers and parents can use it with their children.
Although the weather is cold, we must make sure children go out to play every day. A walk around the...
Sing & Sign Along To Summer Holiday By Cliff Richard.
Last summer, one evening while I was driving home from work, a song came on the radio. It was “Summer Holiday” by Cliff Richard. It’s a catchy little song, and it caught my attention (I must confess that when I am driving, I can’t help listening carefully to the lyrics of all the songs I hear, to see if they...
Look at the Colours Over You.
In this blog, I’ll be sharing a song with you! I am certainly not a good singer, but I do sing all the time for my students and I am sure you do too – particularly to the younger ones. The song is called “Look at the Colours Over You” and it focuses on teaching 4 colours. I usually sing this song during parachute games. My students love...
Sing & Sign Along To Perfect By Ed Sheeran.
Signing along to songs is a great way of learning new signs. Since Valentine’s Day is tomorrow I decided to record a video for a song called Perfect, by Ed Sheeran. You may have seen it already on my social media channels, but if not, you can see it here.
I hope you enjoy it!
