Hello, your site is so useful! We are learning about light, dark, and how to make shadows. Can you tell me the sign for shadow, or add it to the dictionary? Thank you!
ADMIN – Hi Crissy,
That is a tricky sign. Close your dominant fist and bring it toward your chin, flick your chin with your index and thumb and quickly move your hand down to waist height where your non-dominant hand is waiting with palm down as if it was a roof. Once your dominant hand arrives under the “roof” open it and separate your fingers as it rests below the shadow hand.

Hi, I love teaching sign to my granddaughter and she is so pleased to be able to communicate what she wants. When I first went on your web site there would always be a video to demonstrate the sign. I have had my computer fixed lately and since then I can’t get the video, only the drawing. Before I take it back can you tell me if you have stopped the video? Any way I love the web site Thank you Pam
ADMIN – Hi Pam,
