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

In ASL, "share" is signed by holding both hands in front of your body with palms facing up, then moving them outward and away from each other in a giving motion. The sign shows giving. When you share physical items, you start the sign at chest level, but when sharing information, you begin near your head instead. This simple movement looks like you're actually giving something away to the people around you. The sign is used a lot in schools, with friends, and when talking about giving out resources. You'll often see people use this sign when they want to show the act of sharing with others.
