Fortune Teller Check-In Exercise We created this exercise to help Wisdom 2.0 Business conference participants connect with each other and experience the value of such check-in exercises. This particular exercise is a “riff” off of a childhood game called Fortune Teller or Cootie Catcher. To create the game, use the pre-made templates we used at Wisdom 2.0 or create your own. To play, have one partner (A) hold the Fortune Teller. The other (B) chooses one of the outer words. Partner A spells out the word, opening and closing the Fortune Teller horizontally then vertically. When finished spelling the word, four inner words will be revealed. Partner B chooses one of htem. Parnter A lifts up that panel and reveals and reads the question there. Partner B responds and thus ensues a great “get to know you” conversation!
