I've recently started teaching my final unit with Year 6 - Así soy yo. It starts off with quizzes about languages and then learning how to use the verb hablar to say who is speaking which languages. One of my Year 6s asked me if I knew about Spanish sign language, and I had to admit to her that I didn't know about it, but would find out.
Research revealed Lengua de Signos Española (LSE). There are some good websites and YouTube videos that show some of the different signs. This one is particularly primary-friendly and clear https://www.fundacioncnse.org/educa/bancolse/index.php#gsc.tab=0 Year 6 and I had fun yesterday signing the Spanish alphabet.
This website has a dictionary with the signing for a lot of words: https://fundacioncnse-dilse.org/index.php (I still can't find a sign for español or castellano though).
This YouTube video is one of a good series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6FWFF4fEsg
You might find the signs useful for your multimodal or multisensory approach, when you need an action or gesture while practising vocabulary. It might be wise to give the sign for sacapuntas a miss though.... 😉
