How to sign “Games” in ASL

Everyday Life

The BSL sign for “Games” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.

Step by step

  1. Shape both hands into "10" hands, making fists with the thumbs extended upward.
  2. Hold both hands a bit apart in the space in front of your chest.
  3. Tap the two hands toward each other twice, letting the thumbs briefly bump.
  4. Keep the thumbs facing each other and the palms turned back toward you throughout the taps.
  5. Keep your expression neutral and make the taps light and rhythmic, not forceful.
