Sing and sign nursery rhymes with Tiny Tunes

Discover new series Tiny Tunes, where young children and presenter Lisa use British Sign Language (BSL) to sign and sing nursery rhymes together.

Join presenter Lisa Kelly in Tall Trees Forest where deaf and hearing children sing, sign and explore the great outdoors together. 

Each episode explores the themes of a popular nursery rhyme, with art and crafts ideas for young children. 

Join Lisa and the children in the Sing Song Circle. Before they begin to sing, the children teach each other BSL signs to use during each nursery rhyme. Lisa leads the singing, and signs the whole nursery rhyme.

At home you can follow along and learn to sing and sign lots of Tiny Tunes together under the tall trees. Use the episodes in the classroom, home school, or kids group to teach young children how to sign in a fun way.

Singing is a great way to express yourself and expand vocabulary which makes it a perfect way to begin to learn how to sign. Head to CBeebies Parenting for top tips on signing with your baby or child and find out more about different types of sign language.
