Game

Game is signed by making both hands into a fist with your thumbs sticking up, then thumping your fists together. In ASL, the sign for challenge is similar to the sign for game, but just use a bigger motion and more body language to indicate that it is a more serious matter with challenge.

Think of players thumping fists while playing a game to remember the sign.
