Teaching Tips – to learn how to sign tomato in ASL

  • Learning for kids is all about being hands on and a tomato is pretty easy to grow! Start with a few seeds in a cup and once you have a small plant you can transfer it to a bigger pot (or the ground!) and move it outside. Watch your plant grow and enjoy your tomatoes! Practice the sign as the time goes by.
  • Once the tomatoes have grown, try out different recipes together. Do you like tomatoes in a sauce? On a sandwich? Plain with a little salt sprinkled on top? Encourage children to try out new tastes and sign as they go.
