The video above was found using the google advanced search for videos that are able to be shared under the creative commons license. Being able to use videos and pictures of signs is going to be a major part of my ASL instruction. This has been a great quest.

The answers to this version of the quiz are not posted.  This quiz is used as a homework assignment for certain ASL classes.  If you want to take a similar test with answers available, visit the "First 100 Signs Test" page. To do well on this quiz you should study each page in the "First Hundred Signs Tour."Instructions: Take the following quiz.  Type or write your answers onto a sheet of paper and turn in the paper at our next regularly scheduled class session.  There is no need to include the question with your answer.  A simple list of 100 signs will be fine. 1. The sign for "__________" is made by holding one or both of your hands horizontally in front of you. Your palms should face you, right hand a couple of inches above the left. Move your hands in a circular motion up, out, down, and back in again a couple times. The hands move in the same direction in a simultaneous fashion, not alternating. 2. The sign for "__________" is made by forming both hands into the letter "a." With the thumb side pointing upward, place both hands near your shoulders (or at the base of your neck) an inch or two out from the body. Now move both hands downward and together, coming to rest on your lower belly. 3. The sign for "__________" is made by placing your right index finger in front of your lips, palm back. Draw a circle in the air around your lips a couple of times. Alternate Method: Place the thumb on the chin and "flutter" the right index finger in front of the lips. 4. The sign for "__________" is made by holding your left arm horizontally, palm down and pointing right. Put your right wrist on the back of your left hand. Point the fingertips of your right hand downward. 5. The sign for "__________" is made by placing both of your hands in an open, relaxed position just below your waist, fingers pointing down, palms back. Bring both hands up to your waist. As your hands come up, bring your fingers together and touch them with your thumbs. 6. The sign for "__________" is made by shaping both hands into fists, (the letter "S" or "A."), palms down, right hand above left. Tap the back (or thumb side) of your left hand a few times with your right hand in a downward striking motion. 7. The sign for "__________" is made by pointing your left index finger up, palm right or slightly down. Place the tip of your right index finger on the tip of your left index finger. Move the tip of your right index finger in a clockwise motion around your left index finger once with the finger coming to rest again on the tip of the left index finger. 8. The sign for "__________" is made by placing the palm of your right "5" hand on your chest. Move your hand forward away from you a few inches while changing the handshape from a "5" to an "8," (or 9). ( The fingerprints of your thumb and middle finger are together). Note: Some people use the thumb and index finger to make this sign instead of the thumb and middle. 9. The sign for "__________" is made by extending your left hand outward. Move the tip of your right index finger downward across the left palm.  (Note to Vista curriculum users, this sign is not the variation used in the Vista curriculum.) 10. The sign for "__________" is made by placing one or both index fingers under your eyes. Bring your fingers down over your cheeks a few times. The motion can be either alternating or simultaneous.
