Speech, Language and Communication Resources - May week 3
Songs and Signs - Build language and body awareness through simple songs, actions, and signs in everyday play.
Songs and Signs: Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
Join in with the classic nursery rhyme Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes and support your child’s early learning through music, movement, and simple signs. This familiar song is perfect for building repetition, helping little ones recognise and name parts of their body in a fun and engaging way.
Why try this activity?
- Supports early language development
- Encourages physical movement and body awareness
- Builds memory through repetition
- Strengthens communication using simple signs
Top tip for grown-ups: Go slowly at first and exaggerate your actions. As your child becomes more familiar with the song, you can gradually speed it up for extra fun!
