For class tonight we had a quiz (surprise) and then moved on to card games. The educational piece of this was to show how to explain rules in ASL. Rules could pertain to driving and roadways, customs, and... card games.
Mr. G taughts us to play Gin Rummy and Texas Hole 'Em. I have learned that deafies have a harder time keeping a straight face - likely due to their natural inclination for visual expression.
We divided into small groups and laughed as more than one person ended up with cards on the floor as they tried to shuffly a brand new deck. After 52-card pickup, we moved on to Gin. I actually won this game.
As for the poker, it was much harder to understand visually. Eventually we got the basics of it, complete with value-less chips to toss into the pot.
It was a fun way to pass the remainder of class...
