How to use your fortune teller |
- Insert the thumb and forefinger of each hand into the four pockets of the fortune teller. Bring your fingers together.
- Pull your fingers from one hand away from the fingers on your other hand, you will see one set of numbers on the inside of the fortune teller. If you pull your thumbs toward you and your forefingers away from you you will see another set of numbers on the inside.
- Start with the fortune teller closed.
- Ask a friend to pick one of the animals then open the fortune teller forward and backwards as you spell out the animal chosen.
- Next, ask your friend to pick one of the numbers that show inside and open the fortune teller that many times.
- Finally ask your friend to pick one more number from the numbers inside and open the flap for that number.
- Read them their fortune and their lucky number!
- The fortunes have some difficult English phrases. We suggest that teachers translate these for the children.
