I had a student the other day who signed, ‘Can you teach a cat to sign?’ I had to laugh and tell them that while I’m not sure about cats, I’m always available for their puppy buddy if it wants to join our lessons! Kids have such a unique way of seeing the world, and I love how curious they are.
Kids really do see the world differently! That cat signing question is hilarious, and I bet a puppy would have a blast in your lessons. Have you thought about introducing some fun animal signs to keep that curiosity going?
That’s such a cute question! I once had a student who asked if we could teach a goldfish to sign, and it got me thinking about incorporating some animal characteristics into our lessons. Maybe a fun way to engage kids more is to create signs that mimic their pets’ behaviors?
I love that your student asked about teaching a cat to sign — it’s funny how their minds work. I wonder if introducing some animal-themed signs could be a fun lesson plan – imagine a whole session with puppy or kitty signs.
