80s Home > 80s Culture > Cootie Catcher Fortune Teller The Cootie Catcher - 80s Fortune TellingGot a burning question you’ve just got to know the answer to like, Will I marry Scott Baio? Use a cootie catcher! It's all the craze - or at least it was in 1982 when the Like Totally 80s crowd was in the 5th grade. But, don't let Mrs. Asher catch you with it, or she'll take it up and you'll have to make a whole new one . . .
A staple childhood item in the 80s, cootie catchers could be found out on the playground at recess, amongst food and chatter at lunch, during class (for those of you with A.D.D. during 4th hour American History), and pretty much anywhere outside of school. They have even managed to survive through the decades and are still being made by kids of all ages. (Yeah, we know you still make them.) Cootie catchers have even gone Hollywood, landing guest spots on South Park, Arthur, Recess, & most recently on Ugly Betty. Heck, there is even a book written about them (see right). With all this reminiscing I bet you’ve got a ton of new questions to ask. So be the cool kid on your block. Grab some friends and make your own cootie catcher today! Need to brush up on your cootie catcher skills? Visit: http://www.girlpower.gov/GIRLAREA/gamespuz/cootiecatcher.htm for step-by-step instructions. We even found a video of someone making a cootie catcher - it's mesmerizing in a watching-grass-grow kind of way. Check it out below:
