On this page, you will find a video of the Day at Home Adventure that you can use for training purposes – please note, it may not be the same as the class running order for face-to-face classes as some songs and activities had to be adapted to the online environment.
You will also find the details for all songs and activities used in the Day at Home Adventure, as well as a Teachers’ Checklist showing what you will need to take with you to sessions.

For each Adventure, parents get access to an Online Adventure and on that page, they get a weekly Information Topic. This week’s theme is Communicating with your baby – so do point this out to parents and encourage them to post questions about it on the Facebook Group, or ask questions in person at class.
Don’t forget to encourage parents to visit the Private Members’ Area for this week. All customers get access to this for 2 weeks following the week their session commences. On
Signing Activities
At most sessions, we will do some baby signs, and we use a mix of BSL, ASL and Makaton. For baby signing, it doesn’t really matter which signs parents use, so long as they are consistent, as they are not likely to be signing to anyone else, just to their baby. We are moving more towards Makaton signs and if there is not a video to accompany the sign you are learning, you can usually find it o You Tube.
You can also use the following website – www.babysignlanguage.com – which contains signs for ASL and is a useful resource.
Here are the details of the signs that you will need to learn for this session. You will have some signing cards that you can hand out to parents at the class. You may decide to put them on the mats so they have them for when they arrive, or you can hand them out as and when you get to the activity in the Adventure. Be sure to ask parents not to let babies eat the cards (as you know everything usually goes in babies’ mouths! and make sure you warn them to take off the clips holding the cards together and put them somewhere safe where baby cannot get hold of them as they may present a choking hazard.
Signing Explanations_Day-at-Home-Adventure
There are a lot of signs for this Adventure and a little ditty that we say to some classical music. I just talk through it and you can just manage to run it three times for the length of the track. You will definitely need to have a look at the videos for each sign a few times before attempting it though as there are a lot.
Running Order Instructions – no parachute for this Adventure, so only one version of the running order
