The time-out gesture.

A gesture made with one hand pointing to the sky, and the other hand positioned flat on top of it in a ‘T’ shape.

This gesture is a response to the time-out gesture. With the continue gesture you tell people that it is important for you to continue your act. This sign overrules the time-out sign and the power structure that come with it. The gesture is used as a form of dialogue. The continue gesture is performed in an calm way as a response to the time-out gesture.

The continue gesture.

A gesture made with one hand, horizontal and with the palm of the hand towards the chest, and the other hand, shaped as a c circling in front of the first hand.

How to make it contagious? > posters and stickers!

The continue gesture is going to be contagious through schools and parenting. Children who need a Time-out can ask their parents to came back or consider them to continue their play through this sign. It can also be used between children on the play ground.

This way children learn the gesture from the start and will probably (if it is sufficient to them) use it when they are grown. By creating easy gestures that can be used by children while playing, we want to include deaf and hard of hearing children in the playground.

By making posters for schools, we want to make the continue gesture contagious. The continue gesture will also be visible for grownups through stickers placed at prominent spots, so the gesture comes to the attention of the people.

This way we want to bring our new continue gesture to the attention and make it contagious.
