HOW TO USE THE FORTUNE TELLER

After folding the paper, you can decorate the outside squares with numbers, then the inside flaps with words or colors. Open the innermost flaps and write the fortunes on each flap. You can make answers to questions or be creative with fun and humorous answers.

Ask someone a question and tell them that the Fortune Teller will have the answer. It's easier if they ask a yes or no question. Have them pick a number and open and close the Fortune Teller counting that number out. Then have them pick a word on the inside of the Fortune Teller such as a color or object. Spell it out while you open it back and forth, then lift the flap under the word they pick and tell them the answer.
