Help with the name of a Game!  

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
So one of my 6 year old classmates had this little square of paper that had answers/colors to questions he asked to his friends in the playground. I don't know how else to describe it, but apparently it's traditional and lots of people used to play it. Does anyone has any idea of the name of the game that I'm trying to describe? : If I'm able to find the name of the game, I'll be able to google it and maybe get instructions.

It's basically finding out how to fold paper to form that game? A little square that you're able to unfold partly to find out different answers. Do I make any sense? My DH has made hats, airplanes, little boats out of a piece of paper, and he says he played the game I'm describing as a child, but he doens't know how to fold the paper into that game, and doesn't know the name of the game either. Any help??? My 6 yr old is dying to play with us

TIA!!

i cant remember what it is called but i can still make them in my sleep here is how it is made start with a square piece of paper fold point to point forming triangle then open back up repeat with other corners open back you have a X line shape take a point fold to the middle of the X repeat with other 3 corners keep them closed flip over fold points to the X again now fold it in half making a rectangle open up do it the other way just to make the cresses now open each square that is for your finger and your thumbs while playing on this side you will see 4 squares with line making triangles write a color in each triangle 8 colors flip over write a number on each of the triangles flip up and write a note in each it is like telling your fortune things but what ever works

Same here, and they'd have the names of boys in our class under the flaps.
