What is an engaging ASL activity designed to be fun and challenging at the same time?

Question

I will be holding a peer study for my ASL classmates. I would like to prepare by making good use of their time. What are some engaging ASL activities that college students would find not too boring? I want to make sure everyone is involved and engaged during our ASL interactions. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

There is a game we played in college called the "Handshape Game". A circle is formed, then the leader of the game, declares a Handshape. ( Ex. 5)Then going around in a circle each person must make a full ASL sign or classifier using the handshape 5. (Ex. COOK, SUNDAY, WHATEVER...) If a person does not think of a handshape fast enough, or uses the wrong one- they are out. Continue to play until one person is left standing. It's a great way to review vocab and learn something new.
