play


This sign can also be used to mean "toys."  Most of my friends just spell "T-O-Y-S"
I see quite a few educators of deaf children using an initialized form for the sign "TOYS."  Which is to say, some of them do the sign for "toys" by signing "play" using "T" handshapes.  (Looks sort of like "double bathroom.")
Compare this sign with "PARTY." 


PLAY (as in "play time," "playing,")


PLAYER:  To sign "player" simply add the "PERSON / AGENT" sign to the sign PLAY.

THEATER / PLAY / DRAMA:  Put on"a PLAY.""The drama students put on a play." 
This concept uses a different sign:  See: THEATER / act / play / drama
