Imagine playing a game with your friends and pretending to be planes flying in the sky. When you fly your plane with your fingers, you can put them in a special formation called the "finger-four."
It's like you have two pairs of fingers. Your first pair is your index finger and middle finger. Your second pair is your ring finger and pinky finger. You hold up both pairs, making a "V" shape with your index and middle fingers and another "V" shape with your ring and pinky fingers. Then you bring your two pairs of fingers together, making a cross shape.
This formation is used by real pilots when they fly airplanes. It helps them to stay in formation, or stay together while they fly. It also allows them to scan the sky around them and see more of what's going on.
So next time you play "airplanes" with your friends, try using the finger-four formation to make your pretend flights more fun and realistic!
