Auslan Daily Activity Verbs

Ivy, Arjun and Oliver are helping at a busy post office. Read their routine, then explore daily activity verbs in Auslan. Write the English meaning of each uppercase Auslan gloss. To practise signing, use the Auslan signs you have learned; handshapes and movements matter, and facial expression and signing space can add meaning. Auslan can use different sentence orders, so these glosses are learning prompts, not a word-for-word English sentence recipe.

Read the routine

Before the post office opens, Ivy eats breakfast. Arjun reads a letter that arrived in the mail. Oliver writes a thank-you note. During their break, the friends play a quiet guessing game. When the day is done, they go home and sleep.

5.Oliver makes a thank-you note on paper. Fill in the missing gloss: Oliver a note.

7.For a partner practise, choose one verb from EAT, READ, WRITE, PLAY or SLEEP. Sign the Auslan word you have learned. What could help your partner understand your signing clearly?

8.The friends finish their day and rest while asleep. Write the English verb and matching Auslan learning gloss.

9.Create a two-part mini routine using two different verbs from the list. Write one simple English sentence for each part and add the matching uppercase Auslan gloss beside it.

Draw two small scenes showing different activities from the routine. Label each scene with its English verb and uppercase Auslan learning gloss. Practise the signs you know beside your drawings.
