Test your friends and family on their safety knowledge with this fun "Mountain of Facts" game!

1.  

Get an 8 x 8 (or 9x9) inch square sheet of paper or download the template (PDF). Cut out the square along the dotted lines.

2.

Fold according to the diagram and directions on the right. Notice that the outside panels read OXYGEN, HEAT, FUEL, and a MOLECULAR REACTION. These are the elements needed for a fire to burn. It's called the Fire Tetrahedron.

3.

Hold the game piece with your forefinger and thumbs (step 6). See how you can open and close the game piece in two ways?

4.

Have your friend pick a number between 1-5. Move the game piece open this this-way-and-that while counting to the chosen number out loud. Whenever the piece is open when you've reached the number, have your friend answer one of the two questions that's displayed.

5.

Open the panel behind the question to see if your friend's answer is right.

6.

Now switch: Let your friend maneuver the game piece and you can try answering a question!

Have fun! You might also try to create new questions and answers using this "fortune teller" pattern.
