ThinkabaraCootie Catcher (Fortune Teller) Template
The classic folded paper fortune teller — choose kind fortunes, silly dares, questions, or type your own eight messages.
How to use it
Kids pick a color, spell it out while opening and closing the cootie catcher, pick a number, count it out, then lift the flap to read the message. Spelling and counting are built right into the game.
The get-to-know-you version is a great first-week-of-school icebreaker, and the custom version works for review questions: put a vocabulary word or a math fact under each flap.
