Teaching Tips:
- When teaching sign language, starting with the alphabet is always a great idea. The letters often form the basis for other words (for instance, you use W to make the sign water!). Furthermore, teaching the ABCs in sign helps children learn to read and recite them too!
- Write the letter W in large chalk letters on some pavement. Hand children a squirt bottle and have them get the W all wet by tracing the letter with the spray from the bottle. W is for wet! Sign W!
