Fortune Teller

Have you ever been to a fortune teller?   I haven’t…but I hear they can be freakily right about certain things.  If I went, I’d ask if I used to be a dolphin in a past life (I love being underwater) and if I’ll be world famous by the time I’m 50.

One way that fortune tellers make sure they’re right about things is by not being too specific (not giving a lot of details).  You’ll never hear them predict something like, “Mr. Lahana, you will meet a woman named Cynthia tomorrow who will give you a book called “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”.  Read it.”

Instead, they’ll say things like, “someone very close to you will face a great big problem in the near future” or “you have a secret you have been waiting to tell someone.  It is time to tell them.”   Obviously, someone you know will face a problem sooner or later and obviously you have some sort of secret you are keeping from someone. But people like to believe in special powers and it’s fun to be part of the fortune telling game.  So let’s do it using Scratch.

In this Scratch assignment you’ll be using a special variable called a “List”.  You will make two lists: questions for the fortune seeker to ask and answers for the fortune teller to give.  Click HERE for some ideas of answers that your fortune teller can give.
