To sign 'firework', start with your dominant hand near your chest, with your index finger pointing up. Move your hand straight upward to represent the firework shooting into the sky. As your hand reaches the top of its movement, suddenly open all your fingers wide into a '5' handshape to mimic the firework exploding. The motion should be quick and energetic.
Sign 'firework' by shooting your hand up and opening it. To show 'fireworks' in the plural, you can repeat this motion using both hands in different spots.
Sign 'firework', then point to your ear and use the sign for 'loud' to describe the booming noise of the explosion.
Sign 'red' followed by 'firework' to specify the color of the explosion. You can emphasize the '5' handshape to show it was a big burst.

To show multiple fireworks, you can use both hands. Alternate shooting them upward and opening them into '5' handshapes in different spots above your head to represent a sky full of explosions.
While you don't need to make a vocal sound, many signers will mouth 'pah' or 'pow' when the hand opens to visually emphasize the explosion of the firework.
If you are only signing a single firework, use your dominant hand. For a display of multiple fireworks, it is natural to use both hands to fill the signing space.
