How to sign “Sunday” in ASL

Time

BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Sunday” instead

Step by step

  1. Hold both hands open at chest height, fingers spread, palms facing forward.
  2. Move both hands in small outward circles at the same time.
  3. Keep the circles smooth and mirror-image, like two small wheels turning together.

Practice tip

Sunday varies by region — the two open hands circling is the most widely taught version.
