Come little ones, gather near
Let me tell you a story, oh dear!
It's about a way to communicate
Without speaking, it's really great!

Some people are born deaf, you see
And speaking is difficult, just like you and me
But they have a special sense
And with sign language, they can make it immense!

Signing is how they speak
With their hands, they can seek
To express their thoughts and emotions
And connect with others in beautiful motions

It's an inspiration to us all
To see how they can stand tall
And communicate with ease
Using their hands, just like a breeze

So let's learn sign language too
It's a skill that will surely be of use to you
And it's a way to show we care
For our friends who are deaf, everywhere!

Reflections

1. What is sign language and how is it used to communicate?
2. How do people who are deaf use their sense of touch to communicate through sign language?
3. What can we do to learn more about sign language and support those who use it to communicate?
4. How can we make sure that everyone feels included and understood, regardless of their ability to hear or speak?
5. Have you ever met someone who uses sign language to communicate, and what did you learn from them?
