What are at least three things that they learn about oracles, and how do they incorporate oracles into the Eygpt Game?

Mrs. Granger, the children’s teacher at Wilson, first introduced the concept of oracles to the class after Toby brought up the subject to distract her from a scheduled afternoon test. After some discussion, Toby found himself forgetting about the test altogether and becoming more fascinated by the idea of oracles.
The class learned all about the different kind of oracles and how they predicted the future in different ways: “ . . . through the actions of sacred snakes or birds or fish or even through the way the insides of a dead animal were arranged when the priests cut it open” (p. 143). Some even went into a trance.
Oracles performed their talents at very particular locations:


. . . special sacred places, caves or grottoes, or specially built temples, and there were all sorts of far-out things connected with them like sacred fires and mystic vapors and magical statues. (143)

During Mrs. Granger’s discussion of oracles, she mentioned the country of Egypt, which further intrigued the students. (144)
The children learned that Egyptian oracles got messages from the gods through a high priestess with fits, and “she would sit on a throne before the sacred fire, surrounded by swirling mystic vapors, and people who wanted predictions would write their questions on a slip of paper and drop it in the fire. (146)
This format inspired the children to develop their own oracular interpretations by writing their questions on a slip of paper and placing it overnight in the beak of a Thoth altar they had created.
Altogether, the children produced three questions and received three responses:
Ken asked first, “Will I be a big-league star someday?” to which the oracle responded, “Man is his own star and the soul who can be honest, is the only perfect man” (155-156).
Melanie then asked, “When will I go home?” to which the oracle responded, “The best thing we can do is to make whenever we’re lost in look as much like home as we can” (163-164).
Finally, Melanie asked, “Where is security?” to which the oracle responded, “Look under the throne of Set” (169-170; 180).
