How to sign “Trip” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Trip” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Bend the fingers of your dominant hand into a relaxed curved shape, keeping your thumb extended.
- Hold the curved hand at chest height in the signing space in front of your torso.
- Sweep the hand in one big arching movement, pushing forward and over toward your non-dominant side.
- Keep your palm angled downward through the whole arc, like skimming over a hilltop.
- Watch along the path of the movement, as if following your own journey.
Practice tip
Lifeprint glosses this TRAVEL for trip, journey, and tour — one big arc means a single trip; looping arcs mean traveling around.
