The Kodaly or Curwen hand signs are visual and physical cues that are often used to accompany the teaching of sight-singing. These signs each relate to a solfege syllable, do, re, mi and so on. They can be very useful, especially for more visual and kinesthetic learners. For more information, check out:

For a chart that you can download and print for your reference, go to: http://www.kodaly.org.au/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=21&Itemid=65.
Look for "Hand signs diagram". Very nicely done.
