3 Ps!

Products: Fingerspelling and Scattergories

Practices: Listing a variety of vocabulary words from different categories, and interpreting fingerspelling

Perspectives: How can one describe a forgotten sign without fingerspelling the word?

Chain Letter

• Students will be in pairs for this activity.�
• The first student will begin by fingerspelling a letter. The next student will fingerspell another letter to add on to the word. Both students will go back and forth until one student can’t think of another letter to add to the word.�For example: A-P-P-L-E, E-G-G-P-L-A-N-T, T-A-C-O-S, S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y, etc.�
• Whomever added the last letter gets the point and the game will restart with a new word.�
• You don’t need to follow a specific category when fingerspelling a word
• If students feel the game is too easy, then we can introduce a category that they’ll need to follow

Scattergories

1. Students will be divided into two teams�
2. Each student will go head to head against a member of the opposing team�
3. The lab instructor will give each duo a category and they’ll have about a minute to think of as many things that fit the parameter
1. Ex: Category - Animals
1. Dog, Cat, Horse, Pig, etc�
4. The catch is that if you and your opponent think of the same words, they don’t count, so think outside of the box!
• Ex: Armadillo, Hedgehog, Porcupine, etc

Deaf Culture

Fingerspelling is the baseline for understanding and communicating in sign language. Competitive games encourage expansion of sign language and use of signs outside of individuals’ daily vocabulary. Deaf people have a very wide vocabulary and only fingerspell when they have to, this makes conversations more quick and in depth.
