Instructions
1. Cut out the large square.
2. Turn the square over, so the writing is facing down.
3. Fold each corner in to the centre.
4. Turn the paper over and fold the corners to the centre again.
5. Fold in half and crease. Open it and do this in the other direction too.
6. Put your thumb or index finger under each of the flaps of paper to make the corners ‘fluff’ out.
7.Bring your thumbs and fingers together so the chatterbox becomes three dimensional and you
are ready to use it.
How to play
1. Ask a friend to select a type of renewable energy (solar, hydro, wind or biomass).
2.Make your chatterbox ‘talk’ by opening and closing your fingers as you spell the
selected energy word.
3. Ask your friend to select one of the numbers now showing.
4. Open and close your fingers as you count to that number.
5. Ask your friend to select another number.
6.Look under that number and ask your friend the question. If they get it correct they can have
another turn.
There is also a second chatterbox for you to add your own energy questions and answers.
