“Fast Forward…”A game for modifying signs

2. Each person thinks of one sign they like, then take turns signing it.
3. Now change the sign in the following ways:
•Sign it big•Sign it fast•Sign it slow•Sign it low•Sign it high•Sign it small•Repeat it many times•Sign it backwards
•Sign it privately•Sign it cheerfully•Sign it sadly•Sign it crazy•Sign it surprised•Sign it angrily•Sign it emphatically•Sign it doubtfully
Unit 12
Recurring and Continuous Inflections
An inflection is a change or modification in the way a sign is moved. When signing about illnesses, symptoms can happen repeatedly or continuously. Use a time sign and modify the movement of a sign for an illness or a symptom to explain how it has affected someone. Use NMS to show intensity or severity.

2. On Mondays, I’m tired.
3. I get a cold/runny nose every 3 months or so.
4. Once a year I get a sore throat.

Classifier Practice-“At the Garage”Purpose: Using Classifiers and mime without fingerspelling
For this game, pretend you are in a foreign country. Your car has a problem, and you need to communicate what is wrong, but you can neither speak nor sign to the mechanic. You can use acting, gesturing and handshapes to describe the problem with your car.
Each person gets a card with a car problem. Take turns being the customer and the mechanic until everybody has had a chance to be both. The mechanic shows that he/she understands by facial expression and mimicking or repeating what the customer has described.

Inflections for Behaviors or Tendencies
Remember: an inflection is a modification of a sign that can show how often something occurs. If a person or pet do something repeatedly or exhibit a certain behavior frequently, the sign will be repeated several times, and an NMS added that illustrates the intent of the behavior.

Unit 12
A Good Solution?
Which solution fits the problem? Each student gets a set of a few problem cue cards and the same number of solutions cue cards. Students mingle and complain to each other using the cues on their complaint cards, but are only allowed to give the solutions that are on their cue cards. Students keep signing with others until they have found a reasonable solution to each of their problem cues. Write down the solutions on a separate piece of paper.
