hh_clubs | DIVINATION CLUB: Term XXII, Activity 3

You're having a walk after lunch, and you spot a couple of your classmates at the foot of the steps. You step near them and hear the two girls chuckling over a folded sheet of parchment. You've seen them sit together before, and you know they're both from Muggle backgrounds. They're probably just indulging in something they used to do when they were younger, or reflecting on an old bit of shared culture. However, it's now that the one spots you and asks you- between giggles, of course- to ask them a question. They want to tell you your fortune.

Activity: Origami Forunte Tellers
Points: Participation Only - 10 points.
Deadline: 11.59pm UTC, February 20th 2012

Details: We're going to indulge in a spot of nostalgia. Create a paper origami fortune teller (instructions provided), and submit a picture of it. Although it won't score extra points, participants are free to try them out on one other!

For this activity, you're going to be making origami fortune tellers. You may have played with these at school- sometimes they were called Cootie Catchers, or Whirlybirds.

I want you to make one.

You begin with a square of paper or card. Here's a video showing you the folds.

Then, just fill out the flaps and boxes with whatever you wish, hide the destiny results under the tabs, and you're done.

There are two ways to score participation in this:

1) Submit a photograph of the one you made (preferred)
2) Submit a graphic showing your unfolded, finished work (perhaps better if you don't have a camera handy). If you are going to do an unfolded image, just upload it as you would any other image. However, please include something that lets me know this is deffo a HiH thing, rather than something lifted from the web. That something could be part of the origami design, one of the options, or even just a little HiH mark down in the corner.

And.... just as an extra bit of fun: When you've made your cootie catcher, why not try them out on each other! It won't count for points, but you can try them out in comment threads. Tell each others' destinies, and share how you used to play it! And if you haven't ever done these before, now's a great time to learn! Such is the fun of nostalgia trips!

That's it!

I was a pro at these in primary school ;P We always called them chatter boxes.
I still remember how to make them, didn't even need to watch the video!

THAT was the word I was looking for. Seriously, I've spent about 4 days trying to remember what we called them ¬___¬
