I call them cootie catchers...but my students have no idea what those are and call them fortune tellers, so I am trying to adjust. Does anyone know why they were every called cootie catchers to begin with?
Here's a YouTube video on how to make a fortune teller, just in case you have forgotten.
I only teach ELAR, so we don't use them too often, maybe once a week or every other week, but it keeps the idea fun and fresh. If we did it every day, it'd probably lose it's novelty.
Every week I make a fortune teller with their spelling words. If we don't have time to do it in class, I'll send it home with them. If they see it around, they'll beg for it. The worst that could happen is that they make someone play with them at home, right? Sometimes they won't put them away during class...which isn't necessarily a bad thing, because it means they are sort of studying.
I like using the fortune tellers because not only are they fun, but they give practice with both reading and spelling at the same time. Here's an example of on of our spelling fortune tellers.
We've also used them to review prefixes and suffixes. I have a pack of fortune tellers for this that I use throughout the year. I should probably go back and change this title!
Time saver tip: Just use the paper cutter and cut the fortune teller into a square before you even give it to your students. This will save time, having to locate scissors, and keep the scraps off your floor!
My students sometimes get fortune tellers from their math teacher as well. What topics do you use fortune tellers for? Sometimes it's tricky to think of, because it has to be something they are familiar enough with to practice on their own in order to be of benefit.
If you've read all the way down here, I have a freebie for you! A ppt document with fortune teller template in it. All you need to do is add the text boxes to make your own. You can download it here from Google docs.

We usually just write all the information on the boxes, but now thanks to you, I can save lots of time! VERY motivational! It's the simple things right? I loved these as a kid too!
