Only time I’ve heard them named the kid called it a cootie catcher, but that was from an American kid that transferred into my primary school.
Fortune teller.
I don’t know why, but in the seventies it was called a ‘salt cellar’….
There’s a name for it ??
I had girls come up to me and say either; “Pick A Number” or “Pick A Colour”
Pick a colour, pick a number.
I have a feeling that’s not the correct name though…
I never heard it be referred to by a specific name when I was at school. People would just turn up to school with one and whenever I wanted one, I would ask my dad to make one for me as I didn’t know how to make one myself.
I would say “Dad, can you make one of those foldy things for me?” and I would pretend to be using one as I said “foldy things” and my dad knew exactly what I meant.
In My contry we call it spådom (prediction telling )
It depends on what’s inside. It can be a fortune teller if they write magic 8 ball type things in the middle. Its called a chatterbox if there is questions and dares inside.
They don’t have a name. They just exist. And everyone know what they are. All over the globe
I grew up in the US, where it was sometimes called a cootie catcher.
But if I was talking to somebody here in the UK, I’d probably call it a fortune teller or as a last resort just describe it and mime using one if I was trying to talk to somebody about them for some reason.
Yoooo that’s a chatterbox 😅
It’s a handy tool for picking up your dog’s poo.

Oh god.
I made one of these when I was maybe 6 or 7. One of them was “get a divorce”.
Did it to one of my mum’s friends, she picked it and mum yelled at me.
But wouldn’t you know….10 years later they did get a divorce.
Quackers when I was in primary school
Snap dragon or something where I was from, UK. Girls liked them me and my mates thought they was crap
Chatterbox
They have no name
In my region in France it’s called a : cocotte en papier.
Cocotte is a childish/desuet word for hen. En papier just means in paper. So it could be translated to paper hen, or paper chick.

Salt cellar. I don’t know why. I tried putting salt in one once. It was ineffective.
Fortune teller.
