Sign language is not only useful, but it also helps kids understand about the hearing impaired. The DVD series Signing Time! teaches how to sign in a fun, musical way.  There are different DVDs for different signs. There is an “ABC Signs,” in which viewers learn how to sign the letters of the alphabet. A “Family, Feeling and Fun” DVD  teaches how to sign the words for home, family, love, brother, sister, and more. “My Favorite Things” teaches how to sign the words for colors, food, and more. 

Each of the discs teach a new way to communicate in a fun environment. Music is a big part of the discs, so kids won’t get frustrated while trying to learn how to sign. In the recent film Meet the Fockers, the baby used sign language to communicate, even though he wasn’t deaf. It’s a fun and easy language to learn, and it never hurts to know a second language. These DVDs are a fresh, fun easy learning experience. Each disc is a “multi-sensory program [that] introduces children to a ‘hands-on’ second language.”  Actually, they’re great for adults who want to learn to sign too!
