Origami Fortune Teller

[kazboot]

If anyone saw TV Burp this week, Harry Hill made that little game out of a wrap we used to play with numbers and colours on which we put on our fingers and lifted the flaps to reveal a pearl of wisdom! ( I hope that description is clear enough!)
Was there a name for it anyone remember?

I missed Harry Hill, but do you mean paper fortune tellers Kaz?

Re: Game on TV Burp

Yes that sounds like the same thing I'm thinking of. It had 4 sections that fitted over your 2 index fingers and 2 thumbs, then you asked someone to pick a number then a colour and then lifted a flap accordingly with their fortune written there.

Yes thats them paper fortune tellers We spent hours making them then filled them with lame tasks and forfiets and predictions such as Kiss a boy, do a hand stand, you will marry - - - - - etc.

My little girl does, she bought one home from school a few months ago bought memories flooding back and I sat making them for her, thats how I instantly knew what you were describing.

We made one the other week while doing a pub quiz. Mine turned out wrong as i'd got the folds confused with those for the paper waterbomb.

I think we boys were more into hexa-hexa-flexagons, with six or more coloured faces folded into one another...

Origami Fortune Teller

Don't know what these were called really, but I remember making them at school. Maybe a fun way telling someone they smell or you fancy them. Possibly best described as a piece of Origami that opened up to reval hidden messages. Anyone know what these were called - the names from the Wikipedia entry, (cootie catcher, scrunchie, chancer) don't really ring any bells.
