Here we are at another holiday time! With St. Patrick’s Day this weekend, it’s a perfect time to work on some new ASL signs with your family. Holidays make it easy to focus on just a few new signs. And they help us to have plenty of opportunities to use those signs during a concentrated period of time. When we are able to use a sign regularly like this, we are much more likely to learn that sign permanently. So let’s learn a few new signs for St. Patrick’s Day!
Basic signs to use for St. Patrick’s Day
Of course, we should start by learning the sign for green.
You could also learn the sign for gold if you read or talk about finding gold at the end of the rainbow. In fact, you can learn the signs for both find and rainbow too!
Simple St. Patrick’s Day projects
While you’re learning a few new signs for St. Patrick’s Day, remember that we’ve got some Handy Crafts over at Signing Time. Handy Crafts use your kids’ hands to make a craft. For St. Patrick’s Day, you could make a shamrock, a more complex leprechaun, or a simpler leprechaun.
And for an even simpler activity, try our St. Patrick’s Day coloring page, with Hopkins the Frog as a leprechaun.
