Talk about the animals you have in your home (Pets)

• Describe their color, size, description
• fingerspell their names and tell their age.
• How many pets do you have?
• What is their favorite thing to do?
• Do they have a favorite toy or treat?
• Are they your pet or are they the family pet?
• Did you adopt your pet or did you get it from the pet store?

* Play a game of "Spot the Animal" from various places - describe or act out an animal's particular features without giving away their Sign (Giraffe will be hard).

* Tell a story about an animal experience you've had - watching a baby bird hatch, a horse carriage ride, dogs playing at the dog park, etc. Don't leave the details out.

1. Ask each other questions that cannot be answered with a yes or no, such as:

• What do you feed your pet?
• What tricks does your pet know?
• What is your favorite animal?
• What animal is cute? Ugly?
• What animal are you afraid of?
• Have you ever been to a farm/zoo?
• If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be?

* Have fingerspelling receptive practice with each other. Have one person fingerspell an animal and the other give the sign for the animal.
