Help!
My mom wants to know what something is called & for the life of me I can't remember.
Do you remember when you were school & you make this thing out of paper that had numbers on it & you would open & close it based on the number you picked & then open it & it would say something inside. I can't remember. I'm gonna try & see if I can remember how to make. Thanks in advance. |

I know what it is that you're talking about, but I don't know the name either. You have to start out with a square piece of paper. Then I think that you fold the corners into the center. Then I think that you turn it over and fold the points into the center again. Then bring the points together and put your fingers in the flaps on the back side. I suppose that I made that as clear as mud!!! Oh my!!!!

I know exactly what you are talking about, but I don't think I ever knew a name for it. I used to LOVE making those when I was in elementary school.

I always called it a "fortune teller."

I just took one away from a young man on my bus last week. They get to loud and well, it's considered a game and games are not allowed. Those 'fortune teller' things surface every year. The reason I don't like them on the bus is the kids get loud...they argue over what it says and so on. So they are not allowed to have them. They have been around quite awhile...we had them when I was in elementary school. Some things just never go away....

LOL ~ I remember those when I was younger in school. It always said who was my boyfriend, who I was going to marry, etc etc....Life, so simple back then.

I just called my oldest in here. He is wasn't able to go to school today. I described it & asked him for a name. He didn't see the posts & he said, " Ummmmmm...I think its called a fortune teller" SO apparently Rebecca knows best

I will have to say that I DO have a pretty good memory. Besides, it wasn't too long ago that I was playing with one of those!
