ASL Signs of the Week: Big and Little

This is Big (from Mel's Desk)
This is big, big, big. (arms wide)
This is small, small, small. (bring arms together)
This is short, short, short. (crouch down)
This is tall, tall, tall. (reach high)
This is fast, fast, fast. (run fast)
This is slow, slow, slow. (run slowly)
This is yes, yes, yes. (shake head yes)
This is no, no, no. (shake head no)

I can run as fast as you (from A Library Geek)
I can run as fast as you,
I can run as fast as you,
I can run as fast as you,
Running on the spot!

Other verses:
I can walk as slow as you.
I can jump as high as you.
I can crouch as low as you. 

The Grand Old Duke of York
The Grand Old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men.
He marched them up to the top of the hill (lift arms in the air)
And he marched them down again (touch ground)
And when they're up, they're up. (lift arms)
And when they're down they're down. (touch ground)
But when they're only halfway up (raise hands halfway)
They're neither up nor down. (reach up then down)  

10 Little Bubbles (while popping bubbles, to the tune of "Ten Little Indians")
One little,
Two little,
Three little bubbles,
Four little,
Five little,
Six little bubbles.
Seven little,
Eight little,
Nine little bubbles.
Ten little bubbles in the air.

Mama's Sleeping (with shakers, from Getting Giggles)
Mama's sleeping don't wake her up. (shake shakers quietly)
Mama's sleeping don't wake her up.
Mama's sleeping don't wake her up.
We must be very quiet.

Wake up Mama! It's time to play! (shake shakers loudly)
Wake up Mama! It's time to play!
Wake up Mama! It's time to play!
Let's be very noisy!

Craft: We placed green stickers on a template of a pea pod labeled with "In" and "Out". 

Literacy tip of the week: Opposites are a great way to help kids differentiate between objects in their environment. Eventually this practice will apply to differentiating between letters!
