Make the sign for "father" by the thumb of your "5-hand" against your forehead.
![Page 17: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

MARRIAGE
The sign for "marriage" is made by clasping both hands comfortably together. For right-handed people the right hand should be on top of the left hand.
![Page 19: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
DIVORCE
The sign for "divorce" is made by first forming the letter "d" with both hands. Hold both hands together with the palms facing each other. With a twisting motion, move both hands outward and sideways so both palms face forward.
![Page 20: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
HAVE
Hold "bent" handshapes a few inches out from your upper chest. Move your hands back and touch your chest.
![Page 21: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
HEY
The sign "hey" is a good way to get someone's attention when you want to sign to them. Do NOT do this sign close to somebody's face. That would be rude. Do it from at least several feet away. The closer you are, the smaller the movement. The further away you are, the larger you can do the movement.
![Page 22: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
HOW
Form curved handshapes on both hands, palms down and/or slightly back. Place your hands together with the knuckles touching.
![Page 23: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
HOW-MANY
The sign "how many" is a "wh-q" sign. That means since it is a question that starts with the letters "wh" you should furrow your eyebrows a bit
![Page 24: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
LIVE
This version of "live" is "initialized" with an "L." It cannot be used to mean "address." Use a single movement, straight up.
![Page 25: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
SINGLE
This sign is made by holding the right arm in front of you, palm up. Your right index finger makes circular motions about the size of a quarter. The movement is in your shoulder and elbow, not in your wrist.
![Page 26: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SPELL
Using your dominate hand palm down, wiggle your fingers
![Page 27: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
SLOW
To sign "slow," slide the dominant hand (right hand if you are right handed) up the non-dominant forearm a short distance--starting at the back of the base (left) hand. You only need to go a few inches
![Page 28: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
WORK
The sign for "work" is made by shaping both hands into "fist shapes" (the letter "s.") With your palms facing downward, use your dominant fist to tap the wrist or the side of your non-dominant fist a few times.
![Page 29: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
FAMILY
To sign "family" form "F" hands and use the hands to trace the shape of a circle. As if representing a family sitting around a dinner table.
![Page 30: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
TALL (height)
A good general sign is made by placing your right index finger on the palm of your left hand (if you are right handed) and moving the finger upward a few inches.
![Page 31: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
SHORT (height)
To sign SHORT show the height with your hand
![Page 32: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
FAT
This is not a mean sign! The sign for "FAT" (as in "a fat person) uses "claw" hands
near the face to show chubby cheeks. Start with a relatively normal face and then puff out your cheeks as you move your hands out a couple inches
![Page 33: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
AGE/OLD
The sign for "old" starts as a "C" hand and turns into an "S" hand as you pull it down from your chin.
![Page 34: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
FUNNY
The sign "funny" just uses one hand and is done near the nose and/or brushes off the nose twice.(You don't actually have to touch the nose.)
![Page 35: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
SWEET
The sign "SWEET" is also used to mean "diabetes." The handshape, location, and movement are all done the same. The difference is in the context and the rest of the sentence in which you use the sign.
![Page 36: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

FRIENDLY

![Page 39: DCHS American Sign Language Club 1 st Meeting August 20, 2012 Mrs. Alexander](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649ef55503460f94c086b1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
