Free Halloween Cootie Catcher Template

Paper fortune tellers have been around for decades. We called them “Cootie Catchers” when I was a kid. I made this one just for Halloween. My daughter Jennifer did all the artwork shown. I’ve provided a downloadable pdf that you can print, cut, fold and use. There are four versions. A colored version and a black and white version you can color yourself. There are two of each, one with the fortune inside and one that is blank so you can write your own. Below are the folding instructions and how to use them.

Folding Your Cootie Catcher Template

NOTE: Fold the opposite sides as shown as you go along. It lines up better that way. Make sharp clean folds.

How To Use

Using Your Cootie Catcher Template

(Also on pdf)

Have someone ask a yes or no question. Then choose a symbol, witch, jack, ghost or skull.
Spell out the name of the symbol as you move the fortune teller back and forth
Have them pick a number from the spot it opened. Move fortune teller that many times.
Have them pick a new number and open flap of it to get their answer

I remember doing these as a kid! I don’t even think my 7 year old knows what these are. I can’t wait to do this with her! Omg, thanks so much for sharing.
