Countdown to Christmas

A new Makaton treat every day during Advent

STARTS THURSDAY 1st DECEMBER!

It's that time of year again! Countdown to Christmas is just around the corner, and this year marks our 10th anniversary of Makaton Advent.

Over the years we've seen 100s of schools, families, organisations, community groups, and choirs take part in our Countdown to Christmas videos. It's been so much fun to see what the Makaton community has created each year. We would like to thank everyone who has taken part and helped us spread the Makaton magic each year.

Can't wait? Check out last year's Countdown to Christmas...
