Google tells me a kootie or cootie but never heard that either

Something like a flip flap or somethibg

Them things where you fold paper up and have different colours, somebody chooses a colour, then the person holding it spells it out B-L-U-E.... then the chooser picks another option and unfolds a flap to reveal a secret message

Weirdly enough I was thinking about these the other day. The lasses used to do them at school. Never saw the point in them.

Yes maybe "magic flipflap"

 

[ivanthereasonable]

I can't even remember what we called the bairns

We had this discussion in the family last Xmas.

We learned everyone called them different things depending on which part of the country you are from.

Find out what the third little piggy had round their way next Xmas.

I'm a green belt in origami, not as high as a black belt but nobody can build on me.

Ever met a tobacconist on a skiing holiday?

What is even more impressive is the absolute magicians who could make them.

Fucked if I could do it like

 

[Fred Army]

Just asked the bairn as she makes them:
She says fortune tellers

 

[jinx]

We called them chatterboxes

Whats that one where some one has a piece of string, then makes a shape like a cup or that one where you make shadows from your hand?

Oh I can remember how to make one. I could make one now. I just can’t remember what they’re called.

I think they were just "fortune tellers"

 

[The King of Um]

My kids and their friends in primary school here in Sunderland called them chatterboxes.

I remember these were used mainly by girls and they pestered the life out of me with "pick a colour" " now a number" etc nee idea what they were called, if they had a name I'm too old to remember now. Chinese fortune teller, chatterbox and snapdragon are some of the names folk are calling them on websites.
