Lesson 2: Family & People Review Alphabet New Vocabulary Story Practice
New Vocabulary GIRL BOY BROTHER SISITER CHILD
(Children) DAD DIVORCE MOM HAVE
HEY HOW HOW-MANY LIVE MARRIAGE SINGLE SLOW SPELL WORK FAMILY
TALL SHORT FAT AGE FUNNY SWEET MEAN STRICT FRIENDLY CRAZY
GIRL
Place the tip of your thumb on your cheek. Slide the tip of the thumb forward and down along the cheek. Memory tip: Girls used to wear bonnets that they tied under their chin.
BOY
To do the sign for "boy," grab an imaginary baseball cap on your forehead
BROTHER
The sign for "brother" uses a modified "L"-hand that turns into a "1"-hand as it moves from the forehead down to make contact with the base hand (which is in a 1-handshape).
SISTER
The sign for "sister" uses a modified "L"-hand that turns into a "1"-hand as it moves from the jaw down to make contact with the base hand (which is in a 1-handshape).
CHILD
Move your hands like you are patting the child’s head. Two hands for multiple children, or one hand for only one child.
DAD
Make the sign for "father" by the thumb of your "5-hand" against your forehead.
MOM
Make the sign for "Mother" by placing the thumb of your hand against your chin. Your hand should be open (a "5" shape).
MARRIAGE
The sign for "marriage" is made by clasping both hands comfortably together. For right-handed people the right hand should be on top of the left hand.
DIVORCE
The sign for "divorce" is made by first forming the letter "d" with both hands. Hold both hands together with the palms facing each other. With a twisting motion, move both hands outward and sideways so both palms face forward.
HAVE
Hold "bent" handshapes a few inches out from your upper chest. Move your hands back and touch your chest.
HEY
The sign "hey" is a good way to get someone's attention when you want to sign to them. Do NOT do this sign close to somebody's face. That would be rude. Do it from at least several feet away. The closer you are, the smaller the movement. The further away you are, the larger you can do the movement.
HOW
Form curved handshapes on both hands, palms down and/or slightly back. Place your hands together with the knuckles touching.
HOW-MANY
The sign "how many" is a "wh-q" sign. That means since it is a question that starts with the letters "wh" you should furrow your eyebrows a bit
LIVE
This version of "live" is "initialized" with an "L." It cannot be used to mean "address." Use a single movement, straight up.
SINGLE
This sign is made by holding the right arm in front of you, palm up. Your right index finger makes circular motions about the size of a quarter. The movement is in your shoulder and elbow, not in your wrist.
SPELL
Using your dominate hand palm down, wiggle your fingers
SLOW
To sign "slow," slide the dominant hand (right hand if you are right handed) up the non-dominant forearm a short distance--starting at the back of the base (left) hand. You only need to go a few inches
WORK
The sign for "work" is made by shaping both hands into "fist shapes" (the letter "s.") With your palms facing downward, use your dominant fist to tap the wrist or the side of your non-dominant fist a few times.
FAMILY
To sign "family" form "F" hands and use the hands to trace the shape of a circle. As if representing a family sitting around a dinner table.
TALL (height)
A good general sign is made by placing your right index finger on the palm of your left hand (if you are right handed) and moving the finger upward a few inches.
SHORT (height)
To sign SHORT show the height with your hand
FAT
This is not a mean sign! The sign for "FAT" (as in "a fat person) uses "claw" hands
near the face to show chubby cheeks. Start with a relatively normal face and then puff out your cheeks as you move your hands out a couple inches
AGE/OLD
The sign for "old" starts as a "C" hand and turns into an "S" hand as you pull it down from your chin.
FUNNY
The sign "funny" just uses one hand and is done near the nose and/or brushes off the nose twice.(You don't actually have to touch the nose.)
SWEET
The sign "SWEET" is also used to mean "diabetes." The handshape, location, and movement are all done the same. The difference is in the context and the rest of the sentence in which you use the sign.
MEAN
STRICT
FRIENDLY
The fingers wiggle as you move both hands backward. The sign starts a few inches in front of your head and moves backward until the hands are even with, or a little-bit behind your face.
CRAZY
Point an index finger at the side of your head and draw a circle a couple of times
Story MINE:Hi! My name is Mrs. Alexander. I am hard of hearing. My husband is Thierry George, he is hearing. We have one daughter named Mailys. We live in Marietta.
