It's the game where you get a square bit of paper, fold in half to make two triangles, and again on the opposite side so it marks an X in the paper. Fold each corner into your middle, turn over and do the same with each corner. Fold in half with each bit and then puff it out - it forms a square that each section facing up is coloured: red, yellow, green, blue on the outside, 'inside' are numbers, odds and evens and then under each little triangle is a task to do.
Does anyone know what this game is called??? I learned it at school years ago and it's driving me nuts!! It looks like a bird's beak when faced up, or 4 pyramids if placed upside down on floor???? Help!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

How funny! I still make those with paper place mats at diners. I just knew it as a Fortune Teller. Someone chooses a color, you open and close the Teller in opposite directions while you spell out that color, they choose a number, you repeat the same manual function while counting up to the number, they choose a number again, and underneath the number flaps you write a silly fortune and reveal it in the end.
