The term "high five" does not require a hyphen when used as a noun or verb, as in "give a high five" or "they high-fived." However, it can sometimes appear hyphenated ("high-five") when used as a compound adjective, for example, "a high-five gesture." In general usage, the unhyphenated form is more common.
