One of the signing activities we've been doing recently is learning about colors. We're using the Signing Time Classroom Edition (CE) as a guide. While made for use in a variety of classrooms it is easy to adapt many of the activities to a home school situation.
The CE comes with lesson plans based on 16 popular topics from the Signing Time series. The included DVDs and CDs are arranged for use in each lesson. There are also black and white flashcards with key vocabulary.
Here is one way we've been using the flashcards...
On the left are colored pieces of paper which are cut out and laminated together. In the middle and to the right are the colored-in vocabulary cards, also laminated. (Since my son is 2 years old I left these 2 sets of cards uncut to make them easier to handle.) The object is to "read" the card with Rachel signing and match it to the color or vocabulary card.I plan to continue using lessons from the Classroom Edition as the year goes on. Be sure to check back for aditional ideas!
