Activity 2: Quiz yourself with a partner

Either have your partner tell you a word and then you have to sign it back in ASL or have the sign the word to you and then you have to guess the word they signed.

Activity 3: Learn more advanced phrases that go along with these new ASL sport/activity words

With sentence structure in ASL you would put the topic of the sentence first (so the sport) before you put the comment (like or favourite). Then before and after the comment you put the sign for "I/me/my" to indicate that the comment is from you.

Ex: (TOPIC I/me/my COMMENT I/me/my)

Ex: Soccer I play I

IMG_4706.MOV

My favourite sport (comment)

IMG_4723.MOV

What is your favourite sport?

IMG_4708.MOV

I play (comment)

IMG_4709.MOV

I want to play (comment)

Activity 4: Go around practicing

Go around either asking people what their favorite sport is or what they play and in turn, tell them what your favourite sport is or what you are currently playing.
