How to sign “Boy” in BSL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the British sign. See the ASL sign for “Boy” instead
Step by step
- Extend only the index finger of your dominant hand.
- Brush it along your chin, moving from your dominant side toward the other side.
Practice tip
Use the chin, not the cheek — BOY and GIRL live on different parts of the face.
