| Title | ASL Review activity |
| Body | Someone asked for new ideas for the upcoming school year and I thought I would share with everyone a silly game that I play with my students. Maybe some of you already play a game like this, but my students absolutely love it and it holds them accountable to know the signs for a specific unit. Students find a partner (this year the students are going to create partner charts for each month, then they are not working with the same person for partner activities). After finding a partner, all students stand up and make a line. The students stand back to back with their partner and the group in the front of the room are the first group to go. I stand in front of the room and read a word from our vocabulary list (or from previous lists for a review activity). The first partnership must sign it correctly without looking at each other (remember, they are standing back-to-back) and without any help from the partnerships that follow them. If they BOTH sign it correctly, they go to the back of the line. If ONE of them signs it incorrectly, they are BOTH out. Then the next partnership moves forward and they are given a different word. This continues until there is only one group left. When you arrive to two groups being left though, I play the game that if the first group that is left gets out, then the second group HAS to get their word right or the first group is back in. The students have loved this game in the past and it really does make them accoutable for knowing the vocabulary. Obviously there are TONS of ways to alter this game, but thought I would share with you the basic form of the game. It may sound like a silly game, but for high school level one students, it has been a great match. Slama, L. Silly game... A discussion list for teachers of American Sign Language.
