April 30th YW Activity - Learning Some BSL

Several of our special needs members and their youth friends know some ASL (American Sign Language).  They've learned the ASL signs to a few hymns and songs.  We thought it would be fun if they learned some BSL (British Sign Language).  Our guest, Ayas, taught us our ABCs in BSL.

From "V" to "W".

"P".

Playing a memory matching game.  Pairing the ASL letter with the BSL letter.

It was a fun activity.  Thank you to Ayas and Wendy for helping us out!

Fun on Public Safety Night!

Some fun pictures during our last activity!

We had several competitions as to whose siren was the loudest.  The firetruck won every time. :)

Unified Police answered questions.

This fireman let us try on fire gear.

The highway patrolwoman had goggles that skewed vision, representing what it might be like to be under the influence.  She told us to try to give each other a high five.  Good try, guys!

Putting out "fires" (the orange cones).

We hope everyone had a great Spring Break and Happy Easter!  Here are the upcoming activities for the Young Women:

April 9: Lesson & Personal Progress
April 16: Combined Activity
