Fortune Teller
We usually play this at recess
and this can be played by children of different ages. We sometimes
change what can be written on it and we also play this in Spanish.
Directions to make the game:
1. You need a sheet
of paper and it needs to be a perfect square.
2. Next, you need
to grab all four corners and fold them in the middle to make another smaller
square.
3. Turn the square
upside down.
4. Take all four corners
and fold them in the middle to make a smaller square.
5. Fold the square
in half.
6. Unfold the square
and fold it in half the other way.
7. Unfold and pinch
the ends and push the paper inward to make it look like a diamond.
8. Pick up the ends
to open them up.
9. On the outer part
of these ends that you have picked up write a different color on each one.
10. Lay the paper flat to
make a square and pick up the middle ends and cut them inward.
11. On each of these smaller
triangles where you had previously made a cut put the numbers from 1 to
8.
12. Pick up the inside parts
and on the part which is underneath you are to write any type of fortune
(example: yes, no, maybe, think of something else, in your dreams)
Now you are ready to play:
You have two people who
can play at once. The one who is holding the fortune teller paper puts
their thumbs and pointer fingers in the flaps of the fortune teller and
tells the other person to make a wish.
Now they have to pick a
color. The person who is holding the fortune teller has to move it inward
and outward while counting the number of letters of the word.
Next, the other person has
to pick one of the numbers that is showing on the fortune teller. Now the
person holding the fortune teller will move it in the amount of the choosen
number with and inward and outward motion. The other person picks
one of the numbers that are now showing. The person holding the fortune
teller will pick up the flap of that particular number and read what it
says to the other person and this is to be the fortune of the wish.
