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.
Cootie Catcher Learning Games

This free printable found on Teacher Pay Teachers works on parts of a story. There are several other available there that are not free.

One for older kids that works on mean and median on a number.
Teaching Blog Addict made a part of a speech fortune teller.
I even found one that has a Thanksgiving-themed one on DLTK.
