Video transcript: Hi, and welcome to Sign Baby Sign. This week’s word is “bed”.
B-e-d. This can be done two different ways. Using your prayer hands and just or you can use one hand.
If you’d like a few advanced words for your older children, when you want to tell them to go to bed, (sign is demonstrated) you would take your “C” hand down like this, to represent the covers on the bed. And then use the two fingers like this, and have the child get into bed, “to go to bed”. Another word you might want to use is “bedroom”. “Bed” and “room”. (signs) Or you could use one hand. I hope you have enjoyed this week’s word. Be sure and check out the coloring sheet, it’s all free. And if you would like to sign up for classes through Skype or Face Time, that’s on the website as well.. Until next time, have a wonderful week.
