To sign 'dip', start by holding your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing down. Form your dominant hand into a 'U' shape by extending your index and middle fingers and keeping them together. Move your dominant hand downward, scooping slightly under your non-dominant hand, and then bring it back up as if you are dipping a chip into a bowl.
Sign 'party', 'bring', 'chips', and then use the 'dip' sign to clearly show the snack you contributed.
