What I can do with my hands. Part 1

Snapping your fingers to call someone over is rude.

Cross your fingers for good luck. When you tell a lie, cross your fingers behind your back.

I cup my hands when drinking water. We can also cup our hands when getting a gift. You cup your hands when you beg.

Can you wiggle your fingers? I wiggle my fingers to tickle my friend.

When I am angry I make my hand into a fist. I also do this when I want to punch something.

I tap my fingers on a table to show that I am bored. I also tap my fingers over a keyboard.

A thumbs up means you're doing great. Well done!

I clap my hands when I am happy or want to say well done.

Sometimes I clasp my hands in prayer. I can clasp my friend's hand or even my own.

I crack my knuckles, and this makes a noise.

I high-five my friend to say hi or congratulations on a job well done.

I slap my head when I have done something wrong.

I curl my fingers when I want to act like a cat.

I use my fingers to flick a piece of thread off my shirt.

I curve my hand to feel the raindrops or snowflakes falling.

It hurts when someone twists your finger.

Thumb war is a game I play with my friend.

Shaking hands is a formal way of greeting. We also shake hands when we have signed an important contract.

Soldiers often salute each other as a way of greeting.

We can spread our fingers to show that our hands are empty.

A pinky promise is a way of promising a friend that you will do something important or keep a secret.

When you want to say thank you to God, you will raise your hands in praise.

I love playing this game with my friends.

People who cannot hear use sign language to talk.

I raise my hand when I would like to ask my teacher a question in class.

Crossing your finger with your thumb is a sign to show love.
