Fortune Tellers are perfect for:
• Stations – use the appropriate fortune teller for the
topic you’re studying and place it at a station OR
have students rotate through them for a
unit/concept review day!
• Sponge or Warm-up – provide them at student
tables at the beginning of your class.
• Exit Tickets – ask students a question from the
fortune teller on their way out of your room or have
them ask each other questions at the end of class.
Fortune Tellers are great to have handy:
• After students have completed an assignment
• For enrichment
• For differentiation
• To review before tests

Two versions of this Fortune Tellers are
provided for you:
1. In the first version, the questions and
answers are provided for you and your
students – just copy the sheet and
assemble!
2. In the second version, the questions are
provided, but the answer space is left
blank. This allows students to use the
fortune teller as a true study guide – they
fill in the answers according to their notes
or your instruction. Use the first version as
an answer key so students can check their
work.
