Suitable for Levels 1 & 2 (Prep - Grade 2)
Hot and Cold Teach students three signs: WARM, HOT, COLD. One person wait outside while others hide an object. The WARM, HOT, COLD signs are given by other students give hints where to find the object - when the person comes back inside to look for the object, and moves away from the object, the students sign COLD. If nearer to the object, WARM. If the person is almost where the object is, HOT. Teach sign stresses.
Whole Class Arrange in Order Give each students a sign card, and they arrange themselves in alphabetical order. Afterwards, they all sign it out in turns.
Memory Students in threes or four, using Auslan picture sign cards and matching picture cards. Students put cards face-down, mix them up and taking turns flipping over two cards and matching them. If they made a match they can keep the cards.
Guess What I'm Holding After students have learnt the signs of various objects, put objects in a sack. A volunteer takes out an object, which is hidden with a piece of cloth. The class signs what they think the object is. The student with the object gives a YES or NO sign.
Dress Up Competition Place clothes, e.g. hat, sunglasses, gumboots, raincoat, jumper, scarf, etc. on a table. Have two teams of six students lined up away from each other with the table in the middle. Label the students 1 to 6. Sign, “HOT….6” and the student number 6 from both groups rushes to the table and quickly find the summer clothing item and put it on, such as cap, or sunglasses. The one to put it on first wins. Can use different signs such as, “Wear something RED…” or the clothing item itself, e.g. "GLOVES".
