How to sign “Squares” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Squares” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Raise both hands with the index fingers extended and the other fingers folded into fists.
- Start at the top-left corner of the shape in the signing space before your chest.
- Trace the outline of a square: right, then down, then left, then back up.
- Keep your fingertips pointing forward and your palms angled slightly toward each other.
- Use a confident neutral expression, mouthing the word lightly only if it helps clarity.
