Spelling bee rules are an important part of any classroom game, whether you're
holding a competition for one classroom or for several schools. The rules you use
should be carefully considered prior to any competition.
1. The pronouncer announces the word to be spelled. He speaks slowly and clearly,
without distorting the normal pronunciation of the word. He uses the word in a
sentence and says the word again.
2. The speller listens carefully to the pronouncer and asks for the word to be
repeated if necessary.
3. When the speller is sure she understands the word, she pronounces it, spells it
and then says the word again. She must say it loudly enough for the judge to hear it.
4. The judge(s) determines whether or not the word was spelled correctly.
5. If the correct spelling was given, the speller remains in the game.
6. If the spelling was incorrect, that speller is eliminated from the game. The judge
gives the correct spelling of that word. Then the pronouncer reads a new word to the
next student.
7. When there are only two spellers left, if one player misspells a word, the other
player must spell that word correctly, plus one more word to be declared the winner
of the spelling bee.
Those are really all the spelling bee rules you need for a simple classroom game.
