Whistle With Fingers

Need to grab attention without having to scream and shout? Whether you are hailing a cab, or coaching a team, this step-by-step guide to whistling is sure to get you noticed.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Mouth
Tongue
Two index fingers
Two middle fingers
Saliva
Breath of air

Step 1

Lick your lips and get them moist.
Step 2

Press your lips tightly over your teeth. This should create the look of having no teeth.
Step 3

Hold the position from step 2. Using your index and middle fingers from each hand, fold your tongue backwards.
Step 4

Maintain the position created thus far. Make sure that all four fingers are pressed together tightly, creating a v-shape. It should look like an arrow pointing towards your mouth. Do not leave any space for air to escape.
Step 5

Maintain the position created thus far. Pull your cheeks in and make the inside of your mouth airtight.
Step 6

Take a deep breath and blow air out of your mouth. Do not force it too hard.
Step 7

You should create a whistle sound! It may take a few tries, but you will get it. Keep practicing and you will learn to make your whistle even louder.

Tips & Warnings

Once you have mastered this whistle, try it using your thumb and index fingers from one hand (creating an oval shape).
This works very well for teachers, coaches, and parents.
