Teaching Tips – to learn how to sign coach in ASL

  • Watch a favorite pro sports team play a game on television (or live!) and have fun picking out when the coach can be seen. Be sure to use the sign!
  • Make playground games educational (occasionally – there’s value in free play too!) by assigning rolls. One child can be the coach and can practice encouraging and directing their peers in a positive manner and then switch rolls.
