How to sign “Kind” in ASL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Kind” instead
Step by step
- Hold both hands in front of you as bent B-hands, fingers together and slightly curled.
- Position your hands at chest height, one slightly above and in front of the other.
- Roll both hands forward around each other in a smooth alternating rotation.
- End with your dominant palm resting flat on the back of your non-dominant hand.
- Soften your eyes and expression to match the gentle meaning of the sign.
Practice tip
The hands roll kindly around each other like gentle waves; finishing with one hand resting on the other seals the meaning.
