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 students will need to know at least the fingerspelled alphabet to partake, as this 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 one or more of the following topics:
- Fingerspelling
- Numbers
- Basic Greeting Signs
- Basic Family Signs
- Basic Food Signs
- Basic Color Signs
- Basic Animal Signs
- Basic Emotional/Feeling signs (eg. Happy, Sad, etc...)
- Basic Signs pertaining to Hobbies & Interests
- Basic School and Classroom Signs
- Basic Sport Signs


Below is a description of how each weekly session will go.



Session of Jan 6-10 -- Our theme will be food. 

We will spend up to the first fifteen minutes of class learning or reviewing the ASL alphabet. We'll then play ASL hangman, ASL Scattergories (a fun word category game with an ASL twist), and if there's time try to solve a riddle in ASL.
______________________________________________________________________


Session of Jan 13-17 - Our theme will be Numbers. 

We will spend up to the first fifteen minutes of class learning or reviewing the numbers in ASL with Kahoot. We will then play charades with number signs. Finally, we'll play "15," a number game in which the collective goal is to count to fifteen without saying the next number in the sequence at the same time. 
______________________________________________________________________


Session of Week Jan 20-24 -- Our theme will be ASL fingerspelling. 
We will spend up to the first ten minutes learning or reviewing the alphabet signs with Kahoot. Then we'll play a competitive finger seek, which is an ASL-style word search.

______________________________________________________________________

Session of Week Jan 27-31 -- Our theme will be ASL Numbers.
We'll take the first 10 minutes to review numbers through Kahoot. 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 an even faster-paced game in which students collectively count as high as possible in ASL, but clap on every number that includes the number 7 or is a multiple of seven. 

In future weeks, we'll get into foods, colors, animals, and hobbies.

Learning Goals

Students will improve their signing ability and learn new signs along the way.

External Resources
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Sources
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. Handspeak's ASL to English Reverse Dictionary link: https://www.handspeak.com/word/asl-eng/# To learn more about ASL's parameters, visit this site: https://www.handspeak.com/learn/397/ We will view videos from 5-Guys ASL YouTube channel.

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.
