Holding hands is a form of nonverbal communication, a gesture whose meaning varies widely depending on culture.

Children from various parts of the world hold hands in friendship or in play. Certain rhyming games, such as "Ring Around the Rosy" and "Red Rover" involve hand holding.

Parents hold their children's hands, often as a means of protection, authority or control.

For example, a parent may hold a child's hand while in a public place or while crossing a street in order to keep the child close and protect him from potential dangers.

In North America, hand holding among adults is typically seen as a romantic gesture, indulged in by couples who are dating or married.

In many other countries, however, adults may hold hands as a sign of friendship or respect. For example, in 2005, Americans were shocked to see photos of then-president George W. Bush holding hands with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.

This adult hand holding is traditional in parts of the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Mediterranean region.

At protests, demonstrators sometimes hold hands as a sign of solidarity. This is called a "human chain."

During some protests in Asia, several million people have joined in this hand holding behavior.

From the middle finger, extend a similarly curved line to form the ring finger. From the ring finger, extend a curved line to form the pinkie finger. Allow this line to connect with the wrist, completely enclosing the hand.
