Teaching Tips – to learn how to sign socks in ASL
- Socks are good to wear with shoes, but they’re also fun to craft with! Glue on googly eyes and hair and a mouth using craft materials to make your very own sock puppet. Give the sock puppet a name and sign sock.
- Take the sock puppet and use it when learning the alphabet. Give one child the puppet and have the puppet say a letter. Then another child (or an adult) says, “The sock puppet says A!” Sign sock and A. After a few letters, switch roles so the person with the puppet becomes the signer.
