First, spread out your fingers and bend them, then do a scratching motion by your chest. This means “It is fun.”

For the second sign, one hand should stick out palm-side up like a stage while the other hand’s first and second fingers “dance” on top. This sign means dancing!

Lastly, make two Vs with the first two fingers of each hand. This movement communicates peace.
