At the first sign of a rainbow, make a wish.
(England)
When you see a rainbow, make a cross on the ground with a stick or stone and then make a wish.
(Scandinavia)
When you see a rainbow, wish for the same thing three times as you look at the beginning, middle, and end of it.
(United States)
You should make a wish for happiness when you see a rainbow.
(Philippines)
If you see a rainbow, you should make a wish for money. This probably has something to do with the legend that there is a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow.
(Ireland, England, United States, and elsewhere)
When there is a rainbow-colored reflection -- caused by crystal, a prism, an oil spill, etc. -- on the wall, the floor, or on any surface, put the back of your hand on it so you can capture it in your palm. Close your eyes and make a fist, trapping the rainbow inside; then toss it into the air as you make a wish.
When you see a rainbow reflection, capture it in the palm of your hand (as above), then quickly pretend to swallow it as you make your wish.
