Toddler: Preschool. The Tamagotchi automatically interacts with the preschool teacher.

Teenager: School. The Tamagotchi can choose out of 3 teachers - Mr Turtlepedia gives you funny points (smily face), the Flower Teacher gives you gorgeeous points (the sparkles) and Mr Canvas gives you spiritual points (the fist). The Tamagotchi then has to pick a gift that it thinks might have a secret item in it. If it picks the right one, the Tamagotchi's life points increase. If it doesn't, a mess drops on the Tamagotchi's head.

Tamagotchi Connection Version 5 Familitchi(2008)

This Tamagotchi is the next Tamagotchi in the Tamagotchi Connection Series. Its motto, according to the package, is "We are Familitchi!" as in the song "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge, and according to Tamatown the motto is "More Family, More Fun!" The V5, as it is called colloquially, is the English version of the FamiTama and is the first Tamagotchi to be exactly the same (besides language) in Japan and elsewhere, since the Tamagotchi Plus. It was released in Asia on 6 January 2008, Australia on 10 January 2008 and was released elsewhere later in February 2008. A new feature is that you can raise Tamagotchi Families, with 3-5 parents and kids on it. There is, however, a design flaw which prevents it from connecting to the other Tamagotchis in the series. It also has a new website that it shares with the Famitama, the "Tama and Earth Expo". According to the package, Bandai quotes, "The Tamagotchis set up this expo to learn more about Earth." It contains a central pavilion, and 4 other pavilions representing each of the main areas of the Earth. It also included a TV option where the player can use Gotchi Points to shop on the Shopping Channel, find a mate with the Dating Show, or go travelling on the Travelling Show. The Travelling Show is the V5 variation of the pause mode.

Differences from previous versions

Individual tamagotchis cannot be named; instead, a 'family name' is selected and individuals are identified by their tama type.

There is a 'family bond' percentage

The Discipline is replaced with a Play option.

The Medicine chest is expanded to contain general items as well.
