I made a
cootie catcher but I
use it for Physical Education activities instead of a
cootie catcher or
fortune teller. I made the
origamI I learned when I was a child but you can follow the
instructions found at:
FUNORAMA
- Cootie Catcher. On the front, I colored four circles (e.g. blue,
red, green, yellow). In the inside part of the origami, I
numbered each triangle in the center (1-8). I opened it up and
then put activities under each number. (e.g. Run in place. Touch
your toes. Skip across the room. Hop on one foot. Leap like
a frog. Do arm circles. Do jumping jacks. Jump up and
down.) To play the game, have the child choose a color. Say
each letter of that color (e.g. R-E-D, moving it three times,
keeping it open as you say the letters) Have the child pick a
number. Move it that many times (keeping it open as you
count). Have the child pick another number. Move it that
many times (keeping it open as you count). Open that number
and have the child do the P.E. activity that is under that
number. (You can have each child take turns moving the origami.)
