How to sign “Peace” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Peace” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Interlace the fingers of both hands together, clasping them into one settled bundle.
- Hold the clasped hands at mid-chest, a few inches out from your body.
- Keep the hands still and quiet — there is no travel; the stillness is the meaning.
- Let your palms face each other while the fingers stay interlaced.
- Soften your face into a calm, serene expression with relaxed shoulders.
Practice tip
Settled, clasped hands — the same sign means CALM and to PACIFY, as in bringing peace.
Fingerspell “Peace”
Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
