Why do we shake hands? Explained?

Shaking hands is like giving someone a friendly high-five but with your whole hand.

When people meet, they often shake hands to show they are friendly and ready to work together or play together. It’s like saying, “Hi! I’m glad to see you!” in a special way.

Imagine you’re playing tag with your friends. When you say hello, you might high-five them before the game starts. Shaking hands is kind of like that, but for grown-ups or when they're meeting someone new.

When two people shake hands, they touch each other’s hands and move them back and forth. It’s a simple way to share a greeting and feel connected. This tradition has been around for many years, and it helps people know that the person they’re shaking hands with is also friendly.

When you shake someone's hand, it's like saying, “I'm ready to be friends or work together.” You might even smile while doing it, just like when you give a high-five. It’s a simple and fun way to start something new!
