Finally, we'll 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.Week 5Lesson 5Animal SignsWe will spend up to the first fifteen minutes of class learning or reviewing animal signs. For the rest of the class period, we will play virtual four on a couch, a team-based game in which students try to land four members of their team onto the virtual couch. We will utilize Zoom's chat feature with which I will send private messages to students that should try not to reveal their classmates during the game. For students who may have difficulty reading animal words, I'll send emojis instead.
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.
It's helpful for students to already know the fingerspelled alphabet, but it's not a requirement and we will take some time out of the first class to learn/review the alphabet.
