Teaching Tips:

  • Teaching games for kids can foster care for others. Is there someone special in your child’s world that would love a present “just because”? Think of a friend, family member, or neighbor who could use a little brightening of their day. Together with your child, bake a treat or make a craft and deliver the present! Practice signing present as you prepare to go.
  • Find holiday books where characters exchange presents. Sign present whenever one appears in the illustration.
