A Typical Day in School
Suggested activities continued…
•
Various games can be played, based on the different routines, such as:
- Charades: tutor signs and pupils guess by lifting the correct card
- Stand up if you do this every day: tutor signs the expression, pupils respond
- Snap (clap once, clap twice): tutor signs the expressions while showing visual representations in a random
order. When the two don’t match, pupils clap once, when they do, they clap twice
- What Is Missing: Tutor shows all the expressions (or days of the week) on the board, then takes away one at a
time and pupils sign which is missing
- Watch and Respond: tutor signs the prompt, pupils respond by doing the action (IE: open your copy, raise your
hand)
- Form a train of actions: each pupil is assigned an action. In a given order, each pupil signs and mimes that
action forming a chain (can be done faster, in reverse, or in random order)
•
