Hi there! Today, we’re going to learn some fun signs with our hands. These signs help us talk to friends who might not hear well. Let’s start learning together!
Nida is a little girl who loves eating crackers. Yum! Let’s learn some signs she uses.
When Nida finishes her crackers, she says “all done” by holding her flat hands facing her, then turning them to face outward. Try it with me!
If Nida wants more crackers, she taps her gathered fingertips and thumb to her mouth. That’s how she says “eat more.”
When Nida asks nicely, she moves a flat hand in a circle over her chest to say “please.”
Nida also spends time with her mommy. Let’s see what signs she uses then!
When Nida feels hungry, she holds a “C” hand shape at her chest and moves it down. That’s how she says “hungry.”
For milk, Nida pretends to milk a cow by squeezing her hand. Isn’t that fun?
When she wants more milk, she uses her manners and signs “more milk please.”
Nida loves playing with her mommy and daddy. Let’s learn some playtime signs!
To say “ball,” Nida taps two claw hand shapes together like she’s holding a ball.
When Nida wants to play more, she extends her thumb and pinky of each hand and twists her wrists back and forth. That’s how she says “more play.”
After playing, Nida says “thank you” by touching the fingertips of a flat hand to her chin and moving them toward the person she’s thanking.
When Nida wants more hugs, she crosses her fists over her chest like she’s giving herself a hug. That’s how she says “more love please.”
Wasn’t it fun learning with Nida? My favorite part was when she learned to say “play more please.” Now you can try these signs too!
Sign Language Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that match the signs you’ve learned. For example, find a ball and practice the “ball” sign, or find a snack and use the “eat more” sign. Encourage children to use the signs with their friends or family members when they find each item.
Sign Language Story Time: Create a simple story using the signs you’ve learned. For instance, tell a story about Nida having a snack and wanting “more milk please” or playing with a “ball.” Encourage the children to act out the story using the signs. This helps them remember the signs and understand how they can be used in everyday situations.
Sign Language Art: Draw or craft the signs you’ve learned. For example, draw a picture of Nida using the “thank you” sign or create a craft of a hand showing the “please” sign. Display these artworks in the classroom or at home to remind the children of the signs and encourage them to use them regularly.
