- Feel: keeping accurate score throughout a game shows that we are maintaining high standards and playing with integrity.
- Connect: being able to manage the game ourselves and consistently stick to the rules shows respect for everyone.

Pupils have up to 4 seconds, so encourage them to take their time when making decisions. Award bonus points for pupils playing with integrity.
