House

Signing: The house sign is made by outlining the shape of a simple house. Extend your two hands, then starting at the roof, outline the slanting roof line – then the vertical walls. (We don’t usually outline the ground)

Usage: We use the sign for house whenever we return home or re-enter the house after playing in the garden. There is a separate sign for home, but house is close enough. We also use house to refer to other homes.
