How to Play Gift Showdown Versus Mode

• Mode select: Choose TEAM VS from the MODE SELECT screen.

• Option select: Input how many rounds and how many teams will play on the TEAM VS OPTIONS screen.  For a longer game, add more rounds.  For a shorter game, take them away.

• Let's play: Now you are on the game screen.  Time to play!

• Question time: Start by asking a question.  You can ask a question with help from the prompts on the top left of the screen or without their help and on your own. 
• Pick a gift: Once the question has been answered, a student should come to the front and pick a gift to open.  (If you're playing online and the student can't interact with the board, they can tell you a number 1-4 and you choose the present they say).
• Gift contents: When selected, the present will open and give a random amount of points.  The points that can be earned are: 1, 3, 5, or 10.  Each point value has been randomly assigned to one of the presents on screen.
• Awarding points: Press the + button next to the team's name at the top right.  The current points will be added to that team's total.  The round will advance.
• New round: Start the new round by asking a question just like before.
• To reset or not to  reset: When the student comes to the front, now they have an important choice to make.  They can select an unopened present on screen OR reset all of the presents.  They might want to do this because of how points are distributed.  If the 10 point box has already been opened, they might be able to find it again when the boxes are reset.  Or, if they know the present left could be a 10 point box, they might not want to reset.  It's up to the students.
• Reset the gifts: To reset the gifts, press the 'RESET GIFTS' button at the top left of the screen.
• Winning: The game will continue in this manner of asking English questions and opening/resetting gifts until the final round is over.  The student team with the most points wins the game.
