How to sign "good" in ASL

How to Sign "Good"

“Good” is signed by bringing one hand from your chin to your other hand, like offering something pleasant:

• Place the fingertips of your dominant hand at your chin (palm facing in).
• Move your hand outward and down to land palm-up on your non-dominant hand.

Tips

• Imagine you're giving someone something nice from your mouth — that’s “good.”
• Keep the motion smooth, like a gentle offering.

Common Mistakes

• Starting the sign away from the chin — it must begin at the mouth.
• Forgetting to use both hands — the second hand receives the motion.

Think: “From the mouth to the hand — it must be good!”
