How to sign "home" in ASL

How to Sign "Home"

Use your dominant hand to touch your cheek in two places — like combining “eat” and “sleep” in one motion:

• Start with fingers together and fingertips touching your mouth (like “eat”).
• Then move your hand upward and touch the side of your cheek near your ear.

Tips

• This sign combines the ideas of "eat" and "sleep" = where you live = HOME.
• Keep your fingers tight together and relaxed.

Common Mistakes

• Only touching one spot — don’t skip the second contact point near the ear.
• Using a loose or floppy handshape — keep it neat.

Home = Eat + Sleep. Simple and clear!
