ESL hand gestures worksheets

This is a very interesting topic, hand gestures

and body language, in general, are diverse all
over the world. Different world regions and
cultures associated their own meanings with
hand gestures. These hand gestures worksheets
are based on the meanings associated with them
in western countries such as North America and
the UK.

Note when using these handouts you should be

aware of your students’ culture and what may be
offensive. It may not be appropriate to use any of
these worksheets at all. With older classes such
as late teens and adults, however, it can be a fun
topic that brings a lot of laughter to your
classroom.

The answers for the first vocabulary matching

activity above are –

1 Pistol, 2 Stop, 3 Pray, 4 High Five

5 Four, 6 Peace, 7 Perfect, 8 Pinch

9 One, 10 Carry, 11 Claw, 12 Fist

Feel free to add vocabulary to each hand signal

where you think it is required or if you disagree
with the worksheets answers.

Hand gestures meanings worksheet

This handout is a little different in that not

vocabulary has been provided for the students.

It is up to the class to write what each hand

signal means to them. You may get varying
answers throughout your class, including some
that are quite funny.

Further hand gestures activities

For a follow-up or even a warm-up exercise, you

can shout out some words to the class and get
them to use their hands to match the meaning of
the words. This can be great practice for verbs.
You can even turn this into a game of Simon
Says!

Another idea is to get students to acts in a

charades kind of way to hypothetical situations.
For example, how would they tell someone they
were hungry and had no money using only their
hands. There are countless scenarios you can
create depending on the level of your class.

It is also a good time to ask ESL students about

gestures in their own local cultures. Students can
demonstrate hand gestures, explain their
meanings, and in what kinds of situations they
would be used.
