This resource supports little ones who are beginning to learn an Acknowledgement of Country. Pairing spoken words with Key Word Signs and meaningful gestures can support children’s understanding, participation and memory.
It also gives children a way to take part in this beautiful shared ritual when they are not yet using spoken words, or when AAC is their chosen voice.
Key Word Sign uses signs from Auslan alongside spoken language. Adults continue to speak in full, natural sentences while signing only the key or most important words. Facial expression, gesture and body language are also used to support meaning.
Please note:
The original author of this children’s Acknowledgement of Country could not be identified.
To support inclusive representation, the children demonstrating the Key Word Signs in this resource have been AI-generated.
This resource is for those on Awabakal land. For those that are not, replace with the traditional name of the land on which you’re on and the name of the traditional land owners. Finger spell the first letter, twice.
