By the time the program comes around they usually know all of the songs pretty well, so I usually have them all sign just a few songs. The ones they really enjoy signing. <br />For the other songs I exaggerate a big entrance so they come in strong and then use the signs as needed. The Sunbeams do whatever I'm doing, so if I'm leading the music, that's what they do, too! Some can't keep up with all those words and signing gives them a chance to participate. <br />Some of the older kids prefer not to sign and I'm fine with that, too, as long as they are singing with their heart. I've had parents say the signing is distracting, then I've also had parents say the signing was their favorite part! <br />Hope this helps!Camihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950195687487937159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590501513425443912.post-1795810935184196772012-04-22T15:58:28.416-07:002012-04-22T15:58:28.416-07:00I love the idea of teaching signs for every song. ...I love the idea of teaching signs for every song. I notice my primary kids sing louder and remember the words so much better when they sign. What I am wondering is if you plan to have them sign all the songs in the program or is it purely for teaching? I am having my kids do "Stand for the Right" in ASL but I wonder if it would be too much to have them sign all the songs. What are you going to do?The Checks Mixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230360572283226914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590501513425443912.post-55307776434889305802012-02-18T13:47:56.553-08:002012-02-18T13:47:56.553-08:00I agree with Lauren.

I appreciate that you've used the Church's website and also your link to it, lds.org, where the correct ASL interpretation is offered. When ASL is the primary language being used, it is sometimes difficult to find teaching aids in addition when ASL is an aid often employed. It is also difficult to find things that leave my hands free to sign ;) I appreciate your ideas!jharknesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514187290368306894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590501513425443912.post-15918572245470615922012-02-17T19:58:05.157-08:002012-02-17T19:58:05.157-08:00I used your cute picture ideas two weeks ago and t...I used your cute picture ideas two weeks ago and they worked like a charm. The kids loved having their own pictures and really seemed to pay attention to the words to make sure they didn't miss their chance to hold up their stick. Very creative.

I never got to the second part with the Picture sticks, but that was okay, because I used the signs to talk about out how they illustrate parts of the chorus..i.e. Why would does the sign for wisdom points to the temple(head)? We have to use our minds. Where else do we seek wisdom? The scriptures, the Prophet, the temple..etc. It was great!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681144040609759373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4590501513425443912.post-77580249686108296562012-02-04T15:09:32.374-08:002012-02-04T15:09:32.374-08:00Thanks, everybody for your encouragement!
