Steps
-
Get some poster board.
-
Fold the poster board to make a perfect square.
-
Fold it diagonally (both ways) then fold in half (again both ways). This is done just to create creases.
-
Fold every corner into the middle.
-
Flip it over and fold every corner into the middle on this side as well.
-
Flip it over and write a color on each flap (4 flaps, 4 different colors).
-
Flip it over and write the numbers 1-8 on each little triangle (1 number per triangle.
-
Open it up, write a fortune under each number (8 numbers, 8 different fortunes).
-
Fold everything back up and insert your pointers and thumbs of both hands into the 4 pockets under the colors. Try it out on your friends!
Warnings
- Write interesting questions in the flaps, but nothing that would hurt anyone's feelings. You want to keep this game fun!
