Here's Humphrey: Humphrey learns to sign

He may not speak, but Humphrey B Bear communicates eloquently. Often it’s just a skilful use of exuberant body language, but sometimes he uses traditional theatre mime, for instance tapping his forehead to say, ‘I remember’. In this segment, from a 1989 episode of Here’s Humphrey, he remembers the time his friend Bernice came to the Magic Forest to teach him sign language. Humphrey was a natural!  

This segment is an example of Humphrey using his platform to educate children, in this case about the different methods that people in the deaf community use to communicate. Bernice concentrates on the words for farm animals to make it fun for the kids at home.
