The Pledge of Allegiance in American Sign Language

Here are a few videos of the Pledge of Allegiance in American Sign Language. Remember that there are regional variations in ASL, just as there are different accents across the country, so that some of the signs may be slightly different from person to person.







Learning to sign the Pledge fulfills one of the requirements for the United We Stand badge (online only).

Cat's cradle

There are some good illustrations on how to play this ancient game here at Cat's Cradle and How to Do Cat's Cradle.

Depending on how you make some of the figures, you can keep going on and on until someone makes a mistake, or you can come up with a figure that ends the game.

This video is an endless loop between the Diamonds, Candles, and Manger figures, but it helps you to see how those three go back and forth --



This particular game goes to Fish in a Dish and Clock to finish --



See if you can figure out what's going on here! --
