ASL/SE Series II Lesson 3: Pets
Signs
Description of Sign Action
bird
Place the right “G” hand at the right side of the mouth with fingers pointing forward, as if to create a bird’s beak. Open and close the finger and thumb once or twice to emulate the movement of a bird’s beak.
cat (ASL)
Index finger and thumb trace a cat’s whiskers from the cheek outwards.
cat (SE)
Use the “C” hand to trace a cat’s whiskers from the cheek outwards.
fish
A waving right hand leads the left slightly as it swims along.
hamster
Gently glance across the tip of the nose with the tip of the index finger used in forming the “H” sign. Repeat motion.
kitten
Use a “K” hand to trace a cat’s whiskers from the cheek outwards.
lizard
A right “L” hand slithers across the open left palm.
pony
Place the pointer finger of a “P” hand on the right temple and move the hand forward twice, gently rotating the wrist.
rabbit
Place “U” hands one over the other, the back of the right wrist touching the inside of the left wrist. Move the fingers slightly as if the rabbit’s long ears are twitching.
turtle
Place a right “A” hand under the curve of the left hand. Then move the right hand outward to show the head of the turtle gently poking out from under his shell.
