How to make a cootie catcher / fortune teller

How to make a cootie catcher / fortune teller
Instructions

1. Find a friend and ask them to think of a question to ask the fortune teller. Such as, “will I pass my test”?

2. Now get them to pick a colour written on one of the sides. Spell out the colour they have chosen, moving the fortune teller side to side in time with each letter in that word.

3. Open the fortune teller to reveal the numbers and ask them to pick one. Count out the number they have chosen by moving the corners in and out and side to side.

4. Ask them to pick another number and reveal their answer written under that flap.

These things were a torment to every boy in elementary school (in the US at least). The girls would have two sets of fortunes, good and bad, and they would know how to work it. If I chose "purple" then "4", I got "Your hair will fall out and you will die alone." If a girl chose "purple" then "4", she got "Your life will be full of happiness, and free of that last guy!"
