We have always just done 'b' 'b' so not really very helpful..

There are lots of signs on this site (but not baked beans!)...

www.totalcommunication.org.uk/signing.html

but the site recommends further sites to look at. Might be worth a look

If I remember, I'll ask tomorrow.

Got a Makaton lesson on monday if no one else has found out by then but that's ages away so I expect you will have.

Thank you all.
Lori, I purseud many of those already but no luck.
Makaton guard their stuff quite closely unless you pay to access it.
I'm an s/lt but won't be seeing Makaton expert colleagues until lalter next wek, hence my SOS!

I vaguely remember it being mentioned at school but can't quite remember Blush.

Hi, our SALT do signalong, but their sign for this is double B. I'm pretty sure it's the same in Makaton, as I think I remember seeing Justin do the same on something special...

waft your hand around your backside!?

It's BB in BSL in my region, so long as the context is food.

moondog · 20/11/2012 20:01

I'll go with that (the BB not the vulgar hand movements). Grin

Thanks

It's a course that I'm on at the moment. Baked Beans are pretty much the only "veg" that DS2 will eat, so i have a good reason for asking, anyhow.

ouryve · 21/11/2012 16:27

OK, so there isn't an official sign for baked beans. I mentioned that someone uses the sign for B and was told that that could work or else sign as you would imagine small round things, followed by a sign for vegetables or tomatoes, to indicate tomato sauce.

Make one up? .. Some thing involving a windy bottom ?Grin

moondog · 21/11/2012 20:07

Thanks for asking Ouryve.
We practiced the 'b'b' sign and thoguht it looked quite cute so will probably stick with it.If everyone uses it, it will become the norm there.

Already suggested Trout!
(As an aside, will never forget colleague returning from Makaton course on sex. Her admittedly infrequent use of expletives was thereafter accompanied by magnificently fluent signing.)

Ok I asked at my lesson yesterday. Apparently you make a sign for a tin - imagine holding a tin of beans with both hands, one on top of the other, then sign for beans (hold out index finger of left hand and use fingertips of right hand to make shapes of beans along it, as if outlining beans in a pod).
HTH makes sense!

moondog · 27/11/2012 18:57

Brill!
Thank you. Smile
