“Is your person a man?”
“Does he have a beard?”
“Is he wearing glasses?”
“Is your person Andy?”
What a great game of questions. The best were when the questions started to get a little too creative, such as, “Do you think you could take your person in a fight?” And there was also the fun game of taping photos of friends, family and celebrities over the cards.
Patty Cake, Patty Cake,
Baker’s Man;
That I will Master,
As fast as I can;
Prick it and prick it,
And mark it with a T,
And there will be enough for Jacky and me.
We don’t think those are the same lyrics we remember as kids though. Know any other songs? Post them in the comments.
Remember playing this game with your friends to predict what your life would be like when you grew up? If you’re like me, you wouldn’t leave anything out – who you’ll marry, cars you’ll have, where you’ll live, job, # of kids, maid of honor in my wedding, the wedding colors, where we would go on our honeymoon and so on… the possibilities were endless. I must have played this a 1000 times on the bus to school.
Who doesn’t remember making this fortune telling game out of a sheet of paper? After folding the paper, you decorate the outside squares with colors, then the inside flaps with numbers or words. Open the innermost flaps and write the fortunes on each flap. Then your friend chooses one of the four colors. You spell that color out, while moving the fortune teller in and out. Then your friend chooses one of the numbers that is showing. You move the fortune teller in and out the number of times according to the number they chose. When you finish, your friend chooses one of the four visible numbers, and you open the flap under that number to read their fortune.
It was especially useful for finding out which boy in your 6th grade class you were going to marry – and the friend who made it was always nice enough to put a couple nerds in there.
