Top 5 Rules
1. Students are ordered alphabetically; a judge calls a student and gives them a word randomly selected from the word list
2. Student has two minutes to spell the word correctly may start a word, repeat the same letters, and continue on (demonstrated later)
3. Student may ask the judges to repeat the word, ask for a sentence, or ask for the definition ** They may also write the word down.
4. The judges will decide if a word is correctly pronounced or not…
5. All players will continue on until there is 1 winner! The winner must spell the previous word AND another word correctly to win
o All rules (in greater detail) can be found on pages 3 and 4 of the manual

Start talking about the Spelling Bee in the first few weeks of school…
Make a practice schedule with teachers/students if applicable

Make the event similar to an “acto civico”Offer small prizes and a certificate

Advice for Circuital Spelling Bees…
Not all regions will need a circuital bee…we recommend a circuital if more than 6 schools in a region are participating
Try to use only English from this level forward
Have the Superviser coordinate a committee of English Teachers to oversee the organization of the Circuital Spelling Bee
