Ride
There are two signs for ride, so use the one that matches the vehicle you are riding. To show that you are riding a car, form a horizontal 'C' sign with your non-dominant hand, then take your dominant hand and form a curved 'V' sign, which simulates the legs of a person, as you sit your upside-down 'V' on the thumb end, or "seat", of the "car".
To signify that you are riding a horse or a motorbike, form a flat palm with your dominant hand and make it stand on its side, then take your inverted 'V' hand again but this time, straddle the non-dominant hand with the "legs" of your inverted 'V' hand.
SIGN USAGE
Ride is another fun sign to teach your child, as kids get excited over road trips (as long as they're not too long). Teach them the sign as you prepare them for a trip to the park, restaurant, or shopping center.

Is it ASL??
Yes, Juhaina. This is a collection of ASL (American Sign Language) flash cards, directions, and videos that can greatly facilitate your communication with babies & older kids who are verbally challenged. For the parents and teachers here who communicate with children whose L1 (native language) is OTHER THAN (American) English, we encourage that they learn the sign language endemic to their (i.e., their kids’) native tongue. Thanks for dropping by!
