A step-by-step guide to play the game

1

Each player folds their own origami (fortune teller) using the folding instruction board.

  • Make sure the outside flaps are numbered 1–8.
  • Under the number flaps, write or draw colors.
2

One player spins the spinner or rolls a die to get a number between 1 and 8.

3

Another player operates the fortune teller by moving it in and out based on the number.

  • Stop on the final number and let the player choose a flap.
  • Open it to reveal a color.
4

Find the matching color on the hygiene issue board. Discuss the hygiene problem shown (e.g. bad teeth, dirty hands, etc.).

5

From a set of images or solution cards, the player picks the correct hygiene item that could fix the problem (e.g. toothbrush, soap, shampoo).

  • Discuss why this solution fits.
  • You can let the group help if someone is unsure.
6

Start the next round with a different player spinning the wheel and another operating the fortune teller.
