Play the telephone game. This game requires a previous knowledge of sign language but allows students to put their skills to practice and improve their signing skills through conversation. It functions the same as the telephone game often played in elementary school where one person whispers to another a line and that person whispers to the next and so forth. In the end, the message is scrambled and often funny. Instead of whispering from one person to the next, you sign from one person to the next.
Play the bingo game. Learning numbers and the alphabet can be made easier by playing traditional bingo but without audibly speaking letters and numbers. In this game, sign the letters and numbers. Teachers can put a translation guide on the board for students to refer to during the game.
Assign homework by requiring mandatory participation in online interactive games. This is a fun way to learn sign language. Numerous free websites exist with a multitude of games to help improve proficiency. For example, some sites allow the user to choose his level of difficulty and answer multiple-choice questions on the correct sign.
