American Sign Language (ASL) Basics and Fun Gaming Ideas
Summary:
Have you ever seen people waving their hands around & wondered what they're saying? Want to add real meaning to your hand motions when spell casting? Then this ASL workshop is for you!
Description:
All you need are your hands, and a few brain cells. By the end of the workshop, you will be able to embellish your stories like a true Dungeon Master. This is a chance to be silly, learn to beat the pants of everybody in charades, learn how to communicate, cheat on tests, talk behind your bosses back, and many other things. There are many ways can one use sign language anyway! We will learn the alphabet, some signs (participant directed) and classifier usage (the fun stuff that makes good gestures and your stories come alive). Come in and find out, all experience levels welcome, all hearing levels welcome. The more the merrier!
