The Sound Waves Foundation, a UK-based charity, has launched a British Sign Language (BSL) memory card game, aiming to make sign language learning more accessible as demand for its afterschool BSL clubs continues to grow.
The game, which costs £12.99, is available through the charity’s website and is designed to help both hearing and deaf children learn everyday signs through interactive play.
The launch comes as the charity faces a shortage of qualified BSL teachers in the UK, which is stalling the expansion of its popular afterschool BSL clubs.

British Sign Language is a visual means of communicating using gestures, facial expressions and body language. It is a language with its own vocabulary, grammar and syntax. It is not dependent upon or related to English and is used mainly by people who are Deaf or to support those who have hearing difficulties. British Sign Language is a real, full and living language that is part of a rich cultural heritage and one of the UK’s indigenous languages.
