The Interpreter's Tapestry

E's Fingerspelling Games
 

This activity improves expressive and receptive fingerspelling skills. This came from a student of mine as a game to play while on trips.

 
 

(1) Find a deaf friend or fluent fingerspeller (or a few).

(2) Pick a category of proper nouns such as actors & actresses names, movie titles, book titles, college & university names, sports figures, states, captials, etc

(3) Take turns fingerspelling names from the chosen category.

(4) The first person to repeat a name (missed someone else fingerspelling it) or to not be able to come up with another item in the category is "out."

(5) The last person left wins!
