How to Sign "Ready" in American Sign Language (ASL)

Hold both hands in front of your chest with palms up, fingers spread, then move them up while closing fingers into loose fists to sign "ready" in ASL. This movement looks like someone getting ready to do something, and it's a simple way to show you're prepared for what's coming next. Make your face match what you mean - lift your eyebrows if you're excited, or keep a normal face if it's just casual. You can use this sign pretty much anywhere, and you can add other signs to change what it means.
