ASL Christmas Vocabulary Activities | Deaf Education

As a teacher of the Deaf, you know seasonal vocabulary rarely shows up in a way your students can see, sign, and use. This American Sign Language Christmas/Holiday edition gives your Deaf and Hard of Hearing elementary students 24 holiday words, from candy cane and Santa Claus to family and friends, with video models of the signs, hands-on games, and print-and-go practice pages. Everything is ready to use, so you can spend your time teaching rather than creating materials.
