- Learning sign language is fun when there’s lots of movement involved! Play a modified game of Red Light-Green Light. Say, “Green Light! Go!” and sign go. When you say “Red Light! Stop!”, sign stop. Alternate back and forth using the signs each time. For the next level up, you can also sign red and green!
