Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold are both expected to be involved and the pair looked calm as they practiced their new greeting among their teammates.
In a video posted online, the duo can be seen shaking hands, pointing their fingers in an upward motion and then taking turns blowing into their hands as if trying to extinguish a flame.
The conversation lasted just a few seconds before both turned their attention back to training, but fans could expect to see the handshake again if either player scores at the European Championship.
Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa was an enthusiastic spectator as he watched the exchange unfold and smiled as Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold maintained their calm composure.

Secret handshakes are common among teammates and symbolize unity, but some Liverpool fans believe Bellingham could try to lure Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid.
‘Trent on a free transfer to Real Madrid!’ said one concerned supporter who commented on the video.
The Liverpool star is a player whose future at Anfield is in doubt as he enters the final year of his contract and Spanish giants Madrid thought they were monitoring the situation.
Meanwhile, Bellingham has played a starring role since moving to the Spanish capital last year, winning the Champions League and LaLiga, and he will now hope to repeat his success with the national team.
