Learning the months of the year is an important early literacy skill, and these SEE Sign Language Months of the Year Coloring Pages make it even more meaningful. By combining handwriting practice, coloring, and sign language learning, this printable pack gives children an interactive way to build vocabulary while discovering a valuable new skill.
Whether you’re teaching at home, in the classroom, or using these pages during therapy sessions, these kid-friendly designs make language learning engaging and accessible. Each page features the month written in large traceable letters alongside children demonstrating the appropriate SEE hand sign, making it a fun way for young learners to connect written words with visual communication.
Why Learn Sign Language?
Learning sign language is a great way to help children understand that there are many different ways people communicate. Even learning a few common signs can encourage empathy, confidence, and inclusion from an early age.
These printable sign language resources use SEE (Signing Exact English), which closely follows spoken English grammar. While SEE and American Sign Language (ASL) are different systems, both help children explore visual communication and develop an appreciation for accessible language.
Many families choose to introduce both SEE and the American Sign Language alphabet alongside everyday vocabulary such as colors, animals, numbers, and months of the year. These early experiences can support language acquisition while helping hearing students become more aware of the needs of Deaf and hard of hearing communities.
Learning signs can also be useful for children with special needs, and many educators incorporate printable sign language activities into speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and special education programs.
What’s Included?
This printable PDF file includes a coloring page for every month of the year, beginning with January and continuing through February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December. You’ll also find three bonus pages featuring the words “months,” “calendar,” and “year” to help reinforce important time vocabulary.
Each coloring sheet features children demonstrating the correct SEE hand sign alongside large bubble letters to color and traceable handwriting practice at the bottom of the page. The simple, high quality illustrations are designed especially for young children, making them easy to color while supporting fine motor skills and early handwriting development. Together, the pages create a complete printable sign language resource that children can use all year long.

A Fun Addition to Your Lessons
These printable sign language pages are easy to fit into all kinds of lesson plans, whether you’re teaching at home or in the classroom. They’re a natural addition to calendar time, morning meetings, themed units about the seasons, or language learning activities. Teachers can also pair them with weather discussions, monthly celebrations, or other printable resources that explore the passing of the year.
The pages are suitable for PreK through 2nd grade, although they can also be used with older learners who are just beginning to explore sign language. They work well in homeschool settings, elementary classrooms, special education, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and other therapy sessions where visual supports and hands-on activities are especially helpful. Children can trace the month names, practice the SEE hand sign, color the illustrations, and gradually build confidence as they remember each sign throughout the year.
Children can color the pages while practicing each month’s hand sign, trace the words several times, then challenge themselves to remember the signs without looking.
Teachers can also pair these pages with calendar activities, weather discussions, seasons, holidays, or history month celebrations throughout the year.
Benefits of Combining Coloring and Sign Language
Coloring isn’t just a relaxing activity. When combined with handwriting and signing practice, it becomes a multi-sensory learning experience.
Tracing supports early handwriting skills while coloring strengthens pencil control and hand muscles. Practicing each hand sign encourages children to use visual memory and body movement, helping reinforce new vocabulary in a memorable way.
This combination makes learning more engaging for many different learning styles and provides another pathway for children who benefit from hands-on instruction.
SEE and ASL
If you’re new to sign language, you may notice that these pages use SEE rather than ASL.
Signing Exact English (SEE) was created to represent spoken English more directly, making it popular in some educational settings where teachers want signs to match English word order.
American Sign Language (ASL), on the other hand, is its own complete language with its own grammar and sentence structure. Many families enjoy learning both SEE vocabulary and the ASL alphabet over time, helping children appreciate the richness of different communication systems.
Here’s the ASL alphabet below, which you could also print out if you like.
