Select your victim!

Open the catcher so only the empty sides show on the inside and show it to your victim.

Explain that there has been an outbreak of cooties...and you need to quickly check them with your special "Cootie Catcher"! Now Snip through their hair with your Cootie Catcher.

Now open the Cootie Catcher in the opposite direction...exposing the cooties...and of course shouting..."Gross--You have Cooties"

Now quickly shake the Cootie Catcher up and down (to get the cooties off.) Then open it to the blank side again to show that the cooties are gone.

Now say..."No need to thank me, it's all in a day's work."
