This previous weekend, my pal Maureen hosted her forty fourth celebration. We snapped Polaroids and drank Champagne and ate coconut cake, however the funniest a part of the night time was…
My pal Claire and me
…the second her children handed out templates for fortune tellers. Every grownup made one, and we then mingled and instructed one another’s fortunes. (Guys, I’m going to have a fortunate month and get a canine this 12 months!) It was random and hilarious and undoubtedly broke the ice.
I’m the least artful individual, however! In the event you’d prefer to make your personal fortune tellers (possibly for Valentine’s Day?), we put collectively this straightforward template:
You write fortunes into the eight empty areas and fold it up right into a “cootie catcher.” First, your associate chooses a colour, and you progress the fortune teller backwards and forwards whereas spelling out the quantity. Second, your associate chooses a quantity, and you progress the fortune teller backwards and forwards whereas counting out the quantity. Third, your associate chooses one other quantity, and also you open the paper to disclose their fortune. (Right here’s a Youtube video, if that’s simpler.)
Kinds of fortunes:
* Your fortunes can reply a query requested by your associate: “sure,” “no,” “possibly,” “it’s your future,” “most likely not,” “time will inform,” and so forth.
* You may write particular fortunes, like “you could have a secret admirer,” or “you’ll be fortunate at work this month.”
* You may write compliments, like, “you all the time odor nice,” or “you’re the funniest individual on this room.”
* You may write treats for teenagers, reminiscent of “you possibly can keep up half-hour late tonight,” or “you should have a chunk of sweet proper now!!!”
Ideas? Will you make one? What fortunes would you write?
