I drew the signs I have been teaching to the children as a supplement to help them stay excited about learning and remembering the sign language for "I Am a Child of God."
You can't learn or teach the sign language just by using these images but if you have already learned the signs (from my previous two posts), then it provides a nice memory refresh. Feel free to print these for personal use and to share with your primary.
I have now taught the junior primary the entire first verse and chorus of the song in sign language, while the senior primary has already learned three verses and the chorus of the song in sign language.
Therefore, this Sunday I will finish teaching the junior primary the second and third verse, and then in senior primary, we will review the signs at least once, but mixed with another activity, which I am still working through ...

Thank you! I watched the lds.org video of the sign language and felt overwhelmed. I know a little bit of signing and I think I am going to try just teaching the chorus to my primary and seeing how it goes.
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie,
DeleteI'm so glad you found this to be helpful. Good luck with your lesson! My sign language singing times are some of my most popular ones with the children. I love how quickly and reverently they learn the words when I teach them the songs with sign language.
