How to sign “Runs” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Runs” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Make L handshapes with both hands, extending the index finger and thumb.
- Hook your dominant thumb around your non-dominant index finger to link the hands.
- Wiggle both index fingers alternately while pushing both hands forward together.
- Keep both palms facing down so the wiggling fingers read as legs.
- Move with energy and lean slightly forward, as if you are really sprinting.
