Makaton CarPark Karaoke - SING - Singing Hands

#Makaton #Sing #Karaoke

We were in the car the other day singing and signing songs from our childhoods - both of us grew up in houses with parents who were (still are!) big Carpenters fans! We've left in a blooper at the end from the first take - got the giggles because of the postman watching outside the car!!

The song is about something we love doing - SINGING! Why not try and also join in with the signs for this song too (the Makaton signing transcription is below. It's lovely, simple and repetetive in this song so is suitable for all sorts of ages/abilities).

The clip is solely for educational purposes to teach those supporting children and young people with additional needs/learning disabilities how to sign along to their favourite songs.

Remember to purchase the track for your personal use to practise at home!
