This sign can also be used for toys
or party. Most people 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, they do the sign "play" using
"T" handshapes.
You can also do this sign with "P" handshapes to mean "PARTY."
Note: Many people do not initialize this sign with either the "T" nor the "P" to mean toys or party. They simply sign "PLAY" and rely on context to convey their meaning.
PLAY (as in "play time," "playing," or "play around") or PARTY:
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
