Deaf Culture

Deaf people utilize a large vocabulary of signs in their day to day communication. Games like Taboo encourage students learning sign to expand their vocabulary. When someone doesn’t know a sign they can always resort to fingerspelling and if they are signing with a deaf person or someone at a higher level they can learn a new sign in the process.
