Teacher's Report From Belgium
Teaching SignWriting to Deaf Children
 
Later on we did a 'handshape contest' on a gameboard I made myself.

It has 30 spaces, the numbers on the spaces are in SignWriting. The children each get a pawn. They throw the dice and move their pawn. Everytime they hit a space they take 1 or 2 cards (one pink - handshape, and/or one purple - oriëntation) They look at the handshape and the oriëntation, and then give a sign that contains these items.


Greetings Kathleen
