Download and print this free Camping Fortune Teller printable for your kids to enjoy this weekend. This cootie catcher freebie includes two origami joke tellers.
Do you remember taking out a piece of notebook paper back when you were in school and folding it into a fortune-teller? We had so much fun making them and coming up with fortunes and misfortunes. So many hours of laughter!
How many times did the teacher take them away? Did your parents get called?
I have created three camping-themed origami tellers that can be printed for your next camping trip. One is blank for fortunes to be written on. The other ones are camping joke tellers.
Children will also love our Camping Activity Packet or Camping Coloring Pages.

What do to with a Camping Cootie Catcher
Use the blank camping fortune teller to give fortunes or messages, to answer yes/no questions, play truth or dare, for choices, or ask get-to-know-you questions.
Camping-Themed Fortune Ideas
The fortunes or messages that can be written down are endless. They can be sweet or silly. Here are a few suggestions.
● You will catch a fish ● You will see a bird ● You will eat a s’more ● You will find a treasure in the woods | ● You will eat a bug ● Your marshmallow will fall in the fire ● You will get a mosquito bite ● There is a snake in your sleeping bag |
Answer Yes/No Questions
Use the fortune like a Magic 8 Ball. Pick eight of the following messages or make up your own.
Use it to answer questions such as, will I catch a fish, is it going to rain, are we making s’more, ect.
● It is certain. ● It is decidedly so. ● Without a doubt. ● Yes definitely. ● You may rely on it. | ● As I see it, yes. ● Most likely. ● Outlook is good. ● Yes. ● Signs point to yes. | ● Reply hazy, try again. ● Ask again later. ● Better not tell you now. ● Cannot predict now. ● Concentrate and ask again. | ● Don’t count on it. ● My reply is no. ● My sources say no. ● Outlook not so good. ● Very doubtful. |
Truth or Dare
Create a silly game of Truth or Dare with the teller. Write down four truths and four dares.
Food or Activity Choices
Parents can fill out the blanks with eight snack or activity choices and use the teller to pick the choice.
Get to Know You Questions
Having a group campout? The campers can get better acquainted to asking questions to break the ice. Here are a few examples:
- What is your favorite camping dessert?
- What is your favorite camping activity?
- What is your favorite camping memory?
- What is your favorite color?
- What animal do you hope to see?
Camping Jokes Teller
Two of the tellers are filled with corny camping jokes that are sure to crack your kids up. Get ready for them to tell them over and over.
