Teaching Tips – to learn how to sign train in ASL

  • Make a human train! Line up the children (or family members) and practice choo-chooing along. You can sign train before and after you move. This sign not only encourages creative movement, but a little cooperation as well.
  • Signing for baby is fun when you use favorite objects… and kids just love trains! Get a toy train and have fun making little choo-choo noises as you play and sign.
