You’d have to have been living under a rock not to have heard this #earworm in 2018! So it would be fair to say this is our current fave tune – no pun intended!
Today we were joined by fellow Makaton Charity tutors Jane, Amanda & Nicola at our event in Birmingham so here are the five of us taking part in #PINKFONG #BabySharkChallenge
Quick note on signs: we model the Makaton sign for SHARK right at the start, then you can learn the sign for BABY, MUMMY, DADDY, GRANDMA, GRANDPA, RUN (or swim!), SAFE & FINISH (END). All the rest of the gestures are the dance moves but some of you may be thinking the Mummy shark looks like CROCODILE, Grandma looks like sign for HIPPO and the little baby shark is a bit like a BIRD – and you’d be right – well spotted! But hey, we had to leave in some of the original moves as they are so fun!
With thanks to our Makaton buddies who brought their underwater props to the show to join in – Nic at Better Communication Bristol , Amanda at Inclusive Teaching Matters and Jane from Friends of Old Park School.
Enjoy!
