How to sign “Board” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Board” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Extend both index fingers, folding your other fingers down against your palms.
- Hold both hands in front of your chest, with the index fingers pointing forward.
- Trace a square in the air, drawing each side with your index fingertips.
- Keep the fingertips aimed forward as you outline all four sides of the square.
- Keep a neutral expression; the traced outline stands for a board, sign, or billboard.
Practice tip
Trace the shape of a classroom whiteboard; sign WHITE or BLACK first to say whiteboard or blackboard.
