Teaching Tips – to learn how to sign frog in ASL
- For children, games are key to learning. This is especially true when they can move and grove as a part of the learning experience. Watch a few videos of frogs online and observe together how they move. We know they hop, but what else do they do (swim, rest and stay very still)? Practice moving like a frog in different ways and sign frog as you play.
- Learn about the life cycle of a frog, from egg to tadpole, to full-grown. Talk together about the different ways the frog has to live in each stage of life.
