Who this list is for
This paper fortune teller game is for 8-year-olds making two folded paper games with kind, school-appropriate prompts. It is a folding and writing activity, not a tool for predictions.
How to use this list
Choose square origami paper for the two finished fortune tellers and keep extra sheets for folding practice. Follow the folds carefully, then use fine-tip black markers, washable markers, and colored pencils to add colors, numbers, and friendly prompts from the kind prompt cards. Use number sticker sheets if desired. Glue finished paper games to colored cardstock only for display details, not across moving folds. Store each one in a cardstock envelope.
Common mistakes
Do not write unkind, personal, or upsetting prompts. Keep the folds crisp and test the opening movement before adding a lot of decoration. Avoid gluing folded sections shut. If a first attempt tears, use one of the extra origami sheets rather than forcing the paper to work.
