GAME:
Note: In general the sign "game" is done with a double movement and the
fronts of the fists make contact two times.
But I've seen highly
skilled signers like Dennis Platt (wonderful guy, world traveler, heavily involved with Deaf
sports events, and former president of the Utah Association for the Deaf) do
the sign "game" using a single strong movement without the hands touching.
So, here is my advice: When you are referring board games or simple
little games between a two players then go ahead and do this sign with a
double movement with the knuckles of the hands butting up against each other
similar to the way rams butt their heads together. (That's just a memory
aid. Do the sign lightly so as to not hurt yourself.) If you are
referring to a sports match you can do the movement one time and you can make
contact but you don't "have to" bring them
all the way together. Either way is fine.
CHALLENGE:
This is a variation of the "GAME" sign. This variation uses a bigger,
faster, movement and more facial expression. The movement is definitely
a single movement
