When we compare the facial expressions of the children, we quickly understand the mood of the animals that they are personifying. The first child is a mean, fierce wolf, while the second child is a happy, flying unicorn!
While your sign language conversations with the children in your care will probably not include pretending to be mean wolves who will gently capture their prey, or red unicorns who will soar through the clouds, it is still important to consider your body language and facial expressions when signing and teaching sign.
