Yesterday I shared with you a cool math game that used a paper cootie catcher for the word problems. (Cootie catchers and fortune tellers are the same things.) I know some have already pointed it out.
While you can think of dozens of games you could create on your own, here are some ideas for fortune tellers that I have found on the internet. I know you will love them. Following this list of ideas, I will share with you some of my own.
