This worksheet helps learners practise essential family vocabulary in British Sign Language (BSL), including initialised handshapes, gender‑based placement rules, combination signs, lip patterns, and simple family‑related questions. It supports Lecture 1 of Module 5 and is ideal for classrooms, SEN settings, adult beginners, and anyone learning everyday BSL communication.

Learners will work through:

• Matching initialised handshapes (M, F, B, S)
• Understanding masculine vs feminine placement
• Practising core family signs (MOTHER, FATHER, BROTHER, SISTER)
• Combination signs (SON = BOY + BABY, DAUGHTER = GIRL + BABY)
• Lip pattern awareness and clarity
• Practising family questions (YOU HAVE BROTHER?, YOU HAVE SISTER?, YOUR FAMILY WHO?)
• Answering confidently using correct BSL structures
• Signing‑space and movement checks
• Personal practice tasks with confidence rating
• Notes reinforcing correct grammar, placement, and vocabulary structure

Perfect for building strong foundational skills before moving on to Module 5’s conversation and description tasks.
