Is anyone there?

Could you please let me know what you call the object in the link above? in English and German?
I �d like to search for more examples on "google" or in German websites, but I don �t know how those objects are called.
Thanks in advance!
Hugs!

I don�t even know what it is called in Spanish, my own language! I always refer to it as "that thing made of paper you play with etc etc etc..."

Hi, Isabel! 

I think that in English this is called fortune Teller or cootie catcher.  

In Germany it can be called Himmel und H�lle,  Pfeffer und Salz  orSalzn�pfchen.

I hope this information could be useful for you! Keep up with the good work, Carla

It is a cootie catcher or paper fortune teller. It is also called a chatterbox or scrunchie.
We call it Nebe, peklo, r�j (it is similar to German "Himmel und H�lle") :-D
It is origami and you can use it for vocabulary or tenses revision
(What will I do tomorrow / next year...?

Search eslprintables for fortune tellers or cootie catchers. There are lots of games like that...

BTW you can fold it diagonally and make "wings", the remaining "middle part" can form a "head" of a bird.
So it looks like a flying crow.
