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. In this class we will play ASL games nearly all class period, often taking only fifteen minutes during the beginning to learn a few signs and rules pertaining to the game. Look forward to friendly competitions and team building games and exercises to grow your communicative skills in ASL. 


PLEASE NOTE that it is helpful for students to know at least the fingerspelled alphabet before joining the class, as many of the games will include fingerspelling and students may become frustrated if they aren't at least familiar with the alphabet, particularly due to their young ages. However, I will not restrict students who have not yet learned the alphabet and will allot up to fifteen minutes of the first class period to learning/reviewing the alphabet. It is up to parents' and guardian's discretion whether this class would be a good fit for their learners. This Game Time class is a reoccurring class where each session is not contingent upon the next, but the main skill of fingerspelling is necessary and likely to be included in every class. The games we play will depend on the various levels of students attending the session, but no matter your skill level, as long as you know the fingerspelled alphabet from A - Z, you will be able to participate. 


Each session will be centered around learning or practicing using signs from the following topics:
- Fingerspelling 
- Colors
- Numbers
- Food Signs
- Animal Signs

Learning Goals

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.

Syllabus

5 Lessons
over 5 Weeks
Lesson 1:
Fingerspelling
 In this class, we'll learn or review the ASL alphabet, play several Kahoots incorporating the manual alphabet and then ASL Scattergories. 
50 mins online live lesson
Lesson 2:
Color Signs
 We will spend up to the first ten minutes reviewing color signs. The teacher will fingerspell each color sign to introduce each new sign in order to build upon fingerspelling receptive skills (the ability to read fingerspelling). We will then use Kahoot to review the manual alphabet and practice the newly learned color signs. Finally, we will play a game in which students will race to read fingerspelled colors using a video from 5 Guys ASL YouTube channel.

Lesson 3:
Food Signs
 We will spend up to the first fifteen minutes of class learning or reviewing ASL food vocabulary. We'll then play a game pertaining to fingerspelling receptiveness and foods using videos from the 5 Guys ASL YouTube channel that will be shown in class. Finally, we'll play Empire, a competitive game where each individual looks to become the winning empire. This game will incorporate ASL fingerspelling, receptive skills, and practice using the food signs.

Lesson 4:
Numbers & Counting
 We will spend up to the first ten minutes of class learning or reviewing the numbers in ASL. We will then play the "15 Number Game" in which the goal is to successfully count to fifteen without any two people simultaneously signing a number. Then we'll play a number game called "21," a fast-paced counting game in which players are eliminated if they sign the number 21. Finally, we'll play a numerical trivia game using Kahoot!
