New Zealand Sign Language is one of our official languages, and we've been practising each week to add to the signs we know and can use. We make eye contact when we're signing and try to sign slowly and with clear movements, so that we can be easily understood.
In this blog, you will find a selection of the signs that we are using on a daily basis. Ask your child to show you the signs they know. Why not give some of these a try at home?
How are you? Kei te pēhea koe?
Hello/goodbye. Haere rā/e noho rā/ kia ora.
Help. Āwhina.
Hurt. Mamae.
Share. Noho tahi.
More or again. Auau, hoki atu hoki atu.
Finished or all done. Oti
