Learn about different types of reptiles. Learn ASL vocabulary while learning about reptile characteristics, habitats, food, predators, and behaviors. Sign the kids rhyme, "I'm a Fascinating Snake" and the song "Here We Go!". Students need no prior experience or knowledge. Experience ASL through detailed explanations of hand signs and repetition.
