10 ACTIVITY Recipes for the “Handshape Spinner” by Federico Quintana

10 ACTIVITY Recipes  for the “Handshape Spinner”  

Written & published by Federico A. Quintana 

**YOU CAN MODIFY THE “HANDSHAPE SPINNER” INSTRUCTIONAL & GAME ACTIVITIES BEST SUIT FOR YOUR LEARNING & TEACHING NEEDS**



1.    “Sign that handshape !”- Spin it to get a handshape and create or recall any sign vocabulary or classifier sign based on lessons or level of skills. 

2.    “All of you sign that handshape !”- Teacher/host spin it to get a handshape and ask the whole class to come up with different sign vocabulary or classifier or phrase for that handshape until the last player. (Ex:  Sign for the HS: C, player #1: DRINK, player #2: SEARCH,  player #3 CL:CC- Big pipe,  player #4: CHRISTMAS, etc..)

3.    EASY/ ASL 1 Beginner- Spin it one time to get a handshape and create a sign phrase.

4.    MILD/ASL 2- Spin it two times and get two handshapes to create a sign phrase. *Suggestion: Set time limit*

5.    DIFFCULT/ASL 3- Spin it three times and get three handshapes to create a sign phrase.

6.    “Fastest dual signer Game” (2 players)- Have two signers stand in front of the stage/class and the host will spin it and get a handshape and the two signers will have a limited time to come up with a sign or phrase for the handshape. The fastest & accurate one may score or win the game.

7.    “Fingerspell the word”- Spin it to get a handshape and ask the class/audience to fingerspell a word for that handshape. (Great for fingerspelling practice)

8.    “Sign the surrounding objects”- Spin it, get a handshape and identify the objects and sign surrounding you.

9.    “Class ASL story builder”- Group activity (5 players & more) - The whole players in a circle to create a story together.  Each player will take a spin to get a handshape then create a short story, and the next player does the same thing but the story must be in relevant sequences. 

10.    “Read my mind and sign it”- The player spin it  to get a handshape, show the handshape to the class or audience, then the player have up 10 seconds to come up with a sign vocabulary or classifer in his/her mind (do not reveal), ask the class/audience to guess what is the sign for that handshape in his/her mind ,  he/she must not reveal the sign until one of the audience get it correct or time limit passed.

Professional Collaboration by Federico Quintana, M.Ed.

An inspiration for yall to work together to bring many levels of achievements for ASL teachings. There are two different types of teachers... A researcher and an innovator... A researcher digest and compare the studied data to provide the solutions for the learning or teaching problems. An innovator creates the meaningful learning or teaching activities by connecting the dots of interdisciplinary. Both can not successfully teach without collaborating. Like the hardware and software working together to bring the purposes of life. You need my skills and I need your skills. Growing foods but it doesn't cook itself.... Let's collaborate and thrive our ASL (L1 & L2) programs much stronger !!!
