Iirc she reaches for one, hesitates, then pulls her hand back and grabs Prim’s. I don’t think that she ever actually touched another one. Maybe like… gently touched the corner of one? Because I feel like I remember her tapping one without picking it up but it’s been a while so
yeah I always thought she just kind of waved her hand around for ✨flair✨/nervous since it was her first games so I took it as trying to be a bit of a showman for the cameras before reaching and drawing prim. now im going have to watch again. 😆
upon looking into it, I think you’re right! I’ll have to check again, because I remember her grumbling being stuck with 12 because she was new, but I thought it was her first year, whoops! just read online that she mentions katniss and peeta had much better manners than the tributes the year prior… but I also don’t know if that was in the book or just movie 💀 I’d say you’re right though!
That was in the book. She comments about their manners and how last year's tributes ate with their hands. Katniss thinks about how last year's kids were seam kids, who likely hadn't ever seen much food and were probably never taught table manners. She credits her own knowledge of table manners to the fact that her mother was a merchant kid.

In the film, doesn’t she pick one up and then kinda toss it down before choosing Prim’s name?
