ASL (american sign language) number story


One of the fun and special traditions enjoyed and shared by the Deaf Community is signing stories using Number or Alphabet hand shapes. In these stories, various hand shapes do not stand for the numbers and letters themselves, but are used as signs or gestures to convey concepts. They are signed in alphabetical or numerical order, and used in amazing ways to sign or act out a story. Video excerpt from American Sign Language for Families video series by Color of Language.

Learn ASL (me) It is great video program tool because we can see how many people actually play on the controller bar on this video and you can an add comment inside this video or original on blog. Also click on little icon on View all tags & comments to show or hide window while playing video.

Very creative. Clear and slow enough that people can see the numbers as you go. Thanks for the number captions as well. Really helpful and accessible to all. :)
