Class experience
Are you competitive and seeking to incorporate your love for game into your ASL learning journey? If so, you've come to the right place.

Look forward to friendly competitions and team building games and exercises to grow your communicative skills in ASL. PLEASE NOTE that students will need to know at least the fingerspelled...
This class is taught in English.
Students will improve their signing ability and learn new signs along the way.
I have been learning American Sign Language since my introduction to the visual language at age two and have taught beginning ASL to 5-12-year-olds at a local homeschool coop for the past three years. I've also learned a host of ASL games through attending ASL meetups and deaf events and I love using games as an opportunity for students to learn.
A writing device (pen, pencil, etc...) and a sheet of paper should be brought to each session as the game we play may require them.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Sometimes students will be asked to look through Handspeak's Reverse ASL dictionary to find signs for a particular game. This is an extremely helpful source allowing students to find signs that correspond with the five parameters of ASL and enhance not only gameplay, but ASL vocabulary knowledge. I may share the link in the Zoom classroom's chat. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to review the site link before signing up for the class.
