How to start teaching a baby Sign Language...

For the last couple of weeks, I've been babysitting for a family with three kids under the age of 4. Which is perfect for me to test out some of my lesson plan ideas on them. The twin girls just turned 2 last week, they can talk, but they are still kind of hard to understand sometimes, so I've been teaching them some signs.

How To Start:
1. naming something & pointing it out (milk, a dog, book)
2. addressing someone (mom, dad, grandpa)
3. finding something (where shoe?, where toy?)
4. something is gone (food all gone)
5. asking for more (more milk, play again)
5. possessing something (my bear, your toy)

**Most important thing to remember, REPEAT as much as possible**
