How to fold:

1. Place fortune teller face down on work surface.
2. Fold in half diagonally to make a triangle—be sure to crease the fold well.
3. Now unfold, and fold again from the opposite corner.
4. Unfold the paper again. The creases should make an X.
5. With creased paper, printed side down on work surface, fold each corner to the center point to make a square.
6. Turn folded fortune teller over (messages should be face up now), and fold corners to the center to make a smaller square.
7. Crease square vertically and horizontally, as shown. Then pull out corners to accommodate fingers and thumb.

How to Play

Begin with the thumb and index fingers of each hand in the four pockets of the fortune teller. Have the person whose fortune is being read pick one of the numbers on the top four flaps. Count the numbers while alternating a pinching and pulling motion with the teller. Each pinch will expose four of the numbers on the inner flaps, and each pull will expose the other four numbers.

After counting the first pick, the origami teller will be showing one of the sets of four numbers. The other player will then pick one of those numbers, and the responding action is the alternating pinch and pull from the first round. Once the number has been counted, four numbers will be exposed. After a number is picked, the fortune under that number is read.
