Educator guides for the games, the LMS, and the practice layer next to the curriculum you already teach.
Get moving, signing, and collaborating — five classroom tutorials.
Get ready to experience ASL learning like never before.
In this short video, we introduce you to TILT! — our interactive game that brings vocabulary to life. This unique game requires both expressive and receptive skills in a fun setting. Whether you're a teacher, parent, or student, TILT! is designed to boost engagement, reinforce learning, and make ASL fun and unforgettable.
Customize your game to meet your students' needs.
In this video, we walk you through how to choose your category, set difficulty levels, and adjust timers. You'll learn how to create the ideal environment for in-class play, homework assignments, or small group activities. Setup takes just seconds — but the impact lasts much longer.
Here's where the fun begins.
This video shows how TILT! transforms ASL learning through interactive gameplay. We cover four engaging modes — Fingerspelling, Associated Signs, Acting, and Classifiers — that build both expressive and receptive skills. Whether your students are spelling, signing, acting, or describing, TILT! offers countless ways to reinforce vocabulary while keeping things collaborative and fun.
Make ASL part of your daily classroom flow.
This video provides real-world examples of how educators are using Play With ASL and TILT! in their lesson plans. From warm-ups and centers to full-period activities, discover flexible ways to bring ASL into your curriculum — without needing extra prep time.
You're ready — your students are too.
With everything set up, it's time to launch your first game and see the magic happen. This video includes tips for introducing Play With ASL to your students and creating a classroom culture where play drives progress. Let's start building ASL fluency, one game at a time.
Same handshape. Different meaning. Real learning.
Receptive-comprehension practice — watch a sign and pick the right answer from four look-alike options.
Easy
ASL 1 / beginners
Builds confidence and introduces discrimination. Start here when students are still building basic vocabulary.
Normal
ASL 2 / intermediate
Natural signing speed and a broader distractor pool — for students who recognize most signs but confuse similar ones.
Hard
ASL 3+ / advanced
Tighter timer and more confusable distractors — the discrimination needed for live receptive work and interpreting prep.
Start class with a quick round on Easy. Pick the vocabulary pack that matches your current unit. The 20-second timer is generous enough to avoid frustration while still getting brains engaged. It activates prior knowledge and surfaces forgotten vocabulary before the lesson reinforces it.
Assign a specific pack on Normal through your LMS using Deep Linking. The 80% threshold gives a clean completed / not-completed signal for the gradebook, while individual misses tell you which signs students are confusing.
Students who struggle at Normal can drop to Easy without penalty. Students who ace Easy can self-select up. The non-punitive design (zero for wrong, never negative) makes that natural. When in doubt, start one level lower than you think.
Assign two or three packs per week. Students play on their own time and device. The streak system rewards consistency over perfection. Pro move from the classroom guide: Monday Easy, Wednesday Normal, Friday attempt Hard — same pack, visible growth.
Before a unit exam, assign the relevant pack on Hard. Signs they miss in Multiple Choice are the ones to focus on in class. Multiple Choice covers receptive discrimination; you still cover expressive production.
A weekly challenge pack on Hard stays positive because scoring never goes negative. Students celebrate streaks, not perfection.
Visual matching — pair ASL signs with their meanings on the same vocabulary library as TILT! and Multiple Choice.
Start class with a quick round of Memory Match. Pick the vocabulary pack that matches your current unit and give students three to five minutes. It activates prior knowledge, gets students focused, and sets a playful tone. In upper-level courses, follow with TILT! Fingerspell if you want an extra challenge — that is a mode, not a newer product.
Set Memory Match as one station. While one group works with you on expressive practice, another group can work through Play With ASL independently. The built-in progression keeps students challenged without direct instruction — especially in mixed-level classrooms.
Assign specific vocabulary packs through your LMS using Deep Linking. With LTI Advantage services, grades can flow back to your gradebook. Students get practice that feels like a game, not a worksheet.
Use score tracking — accuracy, speed, and completion — as quantitative signals alongside the observational assessments you already do. Pair with a video-based sign-production check for a well-rounded picture.
Memory Match is visual matching. For peer interaction, TILT! Act and Guess modes have students take turns — one produces the sign while the other guesses — so expressive and receptive skill show up in the same period.
Register the tool once, then teachers assign specific games from the LMS they already use.
Play With ASL is 1EdTech LTI Advantage Complete certified (registration IMSD2C6C25C26C27pl2026W1, awarded April 21, 2026). That umbrella is four services: LTI 1.3 Tool (secure launch and single sign-on), Deep Linking 2.0 (teachers pick specific content), Assignment & Grade Services 2.0 (scores return to the gradebook), and Names & Role Provisioning 2.0 (roster sync).
Once the tool is registered for your institution: open the course → add Play With ASL as an external activity → use Deep Linking to choose the game (Memory Match, TILT!, or Multiple Choice) and the vocabulary pack. Students launch from that assignment. Identity, course, and assignment metadata arrive with them. For Brightspace, the course path is Content → Add Existing Activities → External Learning Tools → Play With ASL.
When students finish the activity, AGS 2.0 posts the result to the LMS gradebook. Teachers do not re-type scores. If grades do not appear, the usual cause is AGS not enabled on the tool, or the assignment was launched without AGS context — your admin guide covers that check.
Google Classroom does not support LTI 1.3, so Curriculum Wizard one-click Deep Linking and automatic grade passback are not available inside Classroom. Work with Magic-URL assignment links (paste a Play With ASL link into the Classroom assignment), class redemption codes, and the teacher progress dashboard with CSV export for bulk grade entry.

Play With ASL is the practice layer next to the ASL curriculum you already teach — not a replacement for it.
Short version: we make your existing ASL curriculum work harder in class and at home. Signing Naturally, TruWay ASL, Master ASL!, ASL DEAFined, BGC, or a program you built yourself stay the curriculum. Play With ASL sits alongside them as game-based vocabulary practice.
Keep your scope and sequence. Use the Curriculum Wizard to browse practice presets or customize an assignment, then launch from an LTI 1.3 LMS. Students practice through play on the vocabulary and skills you assigned — not a second curriculum competing with yours.
We do not publish unit maps, authorized editions, or claimed one-to-one alignments to someone else’s textbook. If you do not see your program in the preset list, say so on a demo — teachers can also build custom presets for whatever they teach.
Formative practice signals plus automatic grade passback — not a replacement for the assessments you already trust.
Use game scores to supplement assessment — accuracy, speed, and completion as quantitative points next to what you already observe. Multiple Choice on Normal, Deep Linked from the LMS, gives a clean 80% completed signal and shows which look-alike signs students confuse.
Multiple Choice and Memory Match cover recognition. You still run a signed production check — video, in-class, or peer TILT! Act and Guess — so the gradebook is not only receptive.
On an LTI 1.3 launch with Assignment & Grade Services 2.0 enabled, the student’s result posts to the LMS gradebook. No re-typing. Canvas, Schoology, Brightspace, Blackboard, Moodle, and other LTI 1.3 systems can do this; Google Classroom cannot, so use the teacher dashboard and CSV there.
