1. Cut out your Hanukkah Fortune Teller Game
along the heavy solid lines.
2. Lay it on a flat surface, writing side down.
Fold the corners to the middle.
3. Turn it over and fold those corners to the
middle.
4. Fold in half lengthwise, open it, then fold it
in half horizontally. Open it again. Put your
fingers into the flaps on the outside. You’re
ready to play!
5. Ask a friend to pick one of the outside flap
words. Open and close your fortune teller
the number of letters in the word. Now
have your friend look inside and pick one of
those words. Open and close your fortune
teller the number of letters in that word.
Have your friend look inside again and pick
one of those words. Open the flap under
the word your friend has chosen and read
the Hanukkah joke. Have fun!
6. You can make another Hanukkah fortune teller
with your own jokes too!
