How do you sign “Play” in ASL?
PLAY: PLAY in American Sign Language (ASL) covers games, recreation, and free time. The video and GIF below demonstrate the sign.
When do you use the sign PLAY?
PLAY belongs to weekends: sports, games, kids in the yard, a hobby you finally have time for. In the challenge it appears surprisingly late, in the sports unit of Book 5, but the sign itself is beginner-friendly and worth picking up whenever you meet it.
Formally it lands in Lesson 165, among Book 5’s sports and recreation vocabulary.
📖 PLAY is taught in Lesson 165 of ASLI 5: Fingerspelling I — Book 5 of the 216-Day Challenge →
