Kids love to do sign language with songs. I found a great resource for American Sign Language in the book The Perigee Visual Dictionary of Signing (by Rod R. Butterworth and Mickey Flodin). I am currently teaching the sign language to the song "My Flag" (from Music K-8, Vol. 12, No. 5). It moves slowly and has many repetitive words which makes it ideal for signing. My students just eat it up!!!
