Children also can visit the Park on Biscuit Boulevard, and help Rama find Paws in a shrubbery maze. Through Whitney’s aspirations to become a great actress, we learn how adjectives are modified in American sign Language to show the intensity of emotions (e.g., happy, very happy). Will Whitney’s acting demonstrations keep her from getting to the theater on time? You can create pictures in the drawing game, or learn how to fingerspell words too! Menu Mix-Up - Many signs look similar to other ones. Watch how the waitress confuses what good Chiu-Chin wants for dinner at the restaurant, because they are so similar when signed. Play a game of Con-SIGN-tration with the words from this story! How many matches can you make? Different Clothes - Jurry and Josh, the Pawstown twins, confuse a department store salesman who thinks that they children are actually one child who keeps changing his mind about what clothes to get. Notice that the signs in the story, like "shoes", are signed with the same handshape on each hand - "twin signs." Design clothes for the children in the Biscuit Boulevard CD, or solve crossword puzzles!
