Where can I get a picture sheet of Silent Night in ASL?

by Lynn

I am teaching the children in my church the song silent night in ASL. I know all the signs, I having been signing since I was a child myself. I was wondering if you know were I can get ASL picture sheet of the song to give my children so they can practice at home?

Hi Lynn,

Thanks for your question! Here are some resources I found online:

http://www.elijah.org/liftuphands/silent.htm (I don't like this translation very much)

http://www.lessontutor.com/ltstore1.html (for purchase)

http://www.theinterpretersfriend.org/songs/silent-night.html (A great gloss)

http://stream.lds.org/churchmusic/ASL/hymns/ASL_H_SilentNight_300K_eng.wmv (A fantastic video--good translation)

http://www.aslbible.com/carols/silentnight.html (Another good video)

If you don't like any of the printouts, you can try to create your own using screen shots of your favorite video OR by making copies of words from an ASL dictionary you might have. But sadly, I didn't find any excellent printouts. :(

Maybe this is something I'll consider making for this site if enough people are interested :)

Let me know if I can be of any more help.

God bless,

Michelle Jay
