We focus on the concept that flowers need sun and rain in order to grow so we focus on those three vocabulary signs throughout the chorus. Please note we're only teaching individual words in ASL, if you're looking to learn how to sign fluently we can direct you to classes and Deaf teachers that would be happy to teach you! We love incorporating ASL into musical experiences for the kinestic approach to understanding language. When you sing/say a word while signing the word you're providing three different pathways for the brain to make that connection for your students, visually (seeing the sign), auditory (hearing the word) and physically (moving our body while signing). You'll notice in the video we bold and underlined certain words to emphasize what word we're signing in the moment. We also included a countermelody in the video by singing the A section and B section at the same time and prompting our viewers to sing along with the words on the screen/with Ben or Anna depending on which round it was. This can be done in person by encouraging adults in the room to sing a section while you sing the opposite to give your students both models. This will also be a great experience to continue to present multiple weeks so the students will engage more and more vocally as the repetition continues week to week.
