Free “YES” Auslan Sign Colouring Page – Agreement Worksheet

Free “YES” Auslan Sign Colouring Page

This colouring page invites children to explore the word “YES” and learn the Auslan sign that goes with it. Perfect for classrooms, homeschool settings or home-learning moments, this activity blends art, language learning and inclusive communication—helping kids say “yes” both verbally and visually.

What’s Inside

• Big bold letters spelling YES ready to be coloured.

• A line-art illustration of a person making the Auslan sign for “yes” (fist moving up and down).

• Clean, simple design—ideal for younger children to colour, customise and engage with.

• Space around the figure for children to add their own background, colours, and creative touches.

Why It’s Useful

• Helps children understand the concept of yes—agreement, affirmation, responding positively.

• Introduces Auslan vocabulary—specifically the sign for “yes”. According to the Auslan dictionary, the sign for “yes” is used alone to signify agreement or to accept something.

• Combines creativity (colouring) with language learning and inclusive communication—helping children think about how people who use Auslan express “yes”.

• Suitable for early years/primary students, supporting classroom routines, social-emotional learning (saying yes, responding positively), and inclusive practices.

Instructions on How to Use It

1. Print the worksheet in A4 or similar size for best colouring results.

2. Introduce the word “yes”: Discuss what it means, when children use it (“Yes, I’d like that”, “Yes, please”, “Yes, we’re ready”).

3. Show the sign: Demonstrate how to sign “yes” in Auslan — a common way is by making a fist and moving it up and down (like a nodding motion) to indicate affirmation.

4. Colouring time: Let children colour the letters, the person/figure, and any background. Encourage creativity (patterns, favourite colours, decorative elements).

5. Sign practice: After colouring, invite children to practise the sign themselves. Emphasise clear hand-shape, motion, and preferably a friendly facial expression (which is important in sign language).

6. Extension ideas:

   • Make a mini-survey: Ask children questions like “Do you want more playtime?” and have them respond with “yes” verbally and by signing.

   • Create a “sign of the week” wall: This week’s sign is “yes” – display the coloured worksheets, practise daily, then add new signs in future weeks.

   • Have children draw something they say “yes” to, colour it, and then sign “yes” when showing it.

7. Display & revisit: Once completed, hang the colouring pages in the classroom or at home. Return to the sign later to reinforce it and show how saying “yes” works both in speech and sign.

Here’s a simple but powerful activity that brings together language, art and inclusive communication. Whether you’re using it in a classroom, at home or in a mixed-ability setting, this colouring page helps children say “YES” in words, colour and sign. Print it, colour it, sign it—and let the affirmative moments flow!
