Day 4
Interest strand : Communication - hand signals
We often use hand signals to communicate with others.
What do you think these signals are trying to convey?
Go this way.
Cross my fingers for good luck!
That's exactly what we wanted. Well done!
I'll have two please.
Bicycles do not have indicators. Draw the signals for:
turn right
slow down
stop
arm out to the right
hand moving up and down
hand in stop position
The hand signals below come from a very special set of signals used by people in
Australia who are deaf. Each separate sign means a letter of the alphabet so that words
can be spelled. The signs are in alphabetical order. Label them and then decipher the
message.

Try spelling some words using the hand signs. Spell them to a friend. Can your friend
read the signs? Write down in letters the words you are spelling.
