1) All gifts will be placed in one spot. Then, each participant randomly picks a number from a box that contains pieces of papers with numbers from 1 to the total number of participants.

2) The participant who picked the number 1 from the box first chooses and opens the gift he/she would like from the pool of gifts. The first participant should also show the gift to everyone, so that all everyone would have a chance to see what the gift is.

3) The participant who picked the number 2 from the box goes next and chooses the gift from the pool of gifts. Like the first participant, the second participant should also open and show the gift to everyone. However, the second participant has an option of either keeping the gift he/she just opened or exchanging (swap) it with the gift of the first participant.

4) Next, the third participant chooses, opens, and shows a gift from the pool. The third participant now has an option of either keeping the gift that he/she selected from the pool or exchanging it with any of the prior participant's gifts.

5) The swap goes on until the last participant had a chance to select and swap the gift with anyone prior to him/her. Then, the Yankee Swap ends by having the first participant, who chose the gift but did not have a chance to swap it with anyone, get the last chance to swap gifts with any one of the participants.
