Summary
A card game, called 'Guess the Sign', for deaf and hearing people to play together - someone performs the sign instructions and others guess the meaning (2004).This set of 52 cards has signs for animals and birds (5 cards are on display and the rest are in storage). Each glossy, colour-printed card has on one side a diagram on one side of a person's hand and finger movements which make up the sign and on the other side an image of that creature. There are four other cards - a title one which has the publisher's details, an introduction card which explains the game and has an image of a group of animals, one which shows the whole 'British two-handed alphabet' and number system, and a card which advertises other resource books. Total number of items is 56.
