Play2Sign’s easy-to-learn interface is based on many hours of testing with children to find out what works. It introduces common words and phrases in digestible chunks (six words at a time) in an “immersive” game format that challenges players to learn vocabulary while interacting with a “real” teacher who encourages them to accomplish the goals of the game.

Immersive learning is known to be one of the most efficient methods for teaching languages and is especially effective with children 10 years of age and younger. The Play2Sign app is mostly immersive, except for the "practice screens" that precede the games. These practice screens do use English text to help the adult that may be using this app! This text assistance can be toggled on or off by the user. If the text assistance is toggled OFF, then our immersive format means that we don’t use any written or spoken English at all! Instead, the Play2Sign games uses only images, each of which is paired with a video clip of an expert ASL signer.

The free version of this app includes six categories of vocabulary words. After practicing with a group of six words in a category, players can choose to play either the “erasing” game or the “memory” game to test their knowledge.
