Color Theory Cootie Catcher / Fortune Teller game
I noticed that my students loved to make "cootie catchers" and "fortune tellers." I decided to use this idea to make a review game. Students can color, cut, and fold their papers to create the cootie catcher, and then they will review primary colors, opposites, tints and shades, and secondary colors with a friend. Could be used for a variety of ages and grade levels.
