How to Sign "Have a Good Day"
This friendly phrase combines three signs: Have, Good, and Day:
- Have: Tap bent fingertips to your upper chest using both hands, palms inward.
- Good: From the chin, bring your dominant hand outward to rest palm-up on your non‑dominant palm.
- Day: Lay your non‑dominant arm flat across your body, palm down; with your dominant arm bent at the elbow, raise the forearm up like the sun rising.
Tips
- Link the signs together smoothly in one flowing motion.
- Add a warm facial expression—smile or nod as you finish.
Common Mistakes
- Doing only one or two parts—ensure all three signs are included in order.
- Rushing—pace it like a casual, friendly greeting.
Think: “From heart (have), spread kindness (good), and shine—your day is bright.”
