how do you make the paper folding game with #s that you put on your fingers & u open a # with a phrase in it?

Question

You played it as a kid and now I want to make it and I have no idea. There are #s, the other person picks a number, and you fold the game that many times. Then open the number and there's a phrase under it. What is the name and how do you make it?

Answer 1

www.funorama.com has instructions and diagrams for an origami fortune teller which is what you describe.

Answer 2

To Begin you need to make sure your paper is square, the size is left to you but aprox 15cm square will make a good puzzle.
Lay the paper flat and start folding the paper from one corner towards the center, then follow same for the other three corners, so all your four corners are now pointing to the middle of the paper.
Turn the paper over and do exactly the same again on the otherside.
You should now have on one side four squares,and on the otherside four triangles
Once you have done this, you need to fold the paper in half,do this by hiding the triangles, and then fold the two squares into half, you should now be left with one square, this has now made the folds, for you to start the game puzzle.Now open the paper to reveal the four squares, on these squares you need to write down your own choice of colours, one colour for each square.
Then you need to turn the paper over to reveal the small triangles, on each triangle which you should have eight, write down a number on each,consisting of number one to number eight.
Then after this you need to open the four triangles to reveal the original second square from when you first started to fold the shape.
You need now to split the four triangles into eight shapes, you can do this by running a pen down from the point of the triangle to the first fold, do this on all four triangles, you should now have eight individual triangles, you can now write down some thing funny on each one,of your chioce..for instance" i love you etc etc"
you should now have all eight answers, so now you can fold your puzzle back into the shape of four squares, on those four squares you need to put your finger next to your thumb, and your thumb into the two squares do the same for the other two on the other hand, you should now be able to play the game..GOOD LUCK-
