Teaching ASL to Kids

Mortimer

Friday, April 10, 2009

So all of the classes have been asked to do a 'skit/music/performance' for the opening of some brand new rooms for our program. Of course I want to incorporate some ASL in it as well. I think we're going to do "Mortimer" by Robert Munsch. Everyone can sign most of the words already, and they will have fun acting out the parts! As well, we can have some kids doing 'sound effects' with the sticks we practice rhythms with. Such as the 'thump thump thump' when people walk up and down the stairs. And playing along to his 'bang bang rattle cling clang' song. I'm very excited about this, and hope the kids are too!
