 Welcome to the Grade 2 Spelling Bee!

We are happy to be hosting our school’s First Annual Spelling Bee Contest for students in grade 2.

The students will be expected to spell and know the meaning of the word.

PS 87 Spelling Bee Rules:

1. Before the actual spelling bee, the competitors will be given a practice round to acquaint them with the procedures
and give them a chance to relax. No one will be eliminated during the practice round.

2. Each competitor, after being given a word, should SAY the word, SPELL the word, and then SAY it again. If the
word is mispronounced, the spellmaster should correct the student (Homonyms should automatically be put into a
sentence or accompanied with a definition). This SAY-SPELL-SAY procedure must be followed to ensure that: (1)
the speller understands the correct word, and (2) the judges know when the spelling is complete and no more letters
will be added. The head judge will stop the student if he fails to pronounce the word before spelling, or if it is
pronounced incorrectly. NOTE: Failure to say-spell-say will not in itself eliminate the speller from competition, but
it will reduce the chances of correct spelling and/or the ability to arbitrate.

3. Contestants must speak clearly and loudly. The spellmaster’s decision is final in determining the correctness of the
spelling, which may be misunderstood if not spoken clearly.

4. The contestant may, before beginning to spell, ask for a definition of the word, ask for the word to be used in a
sentence, and/or ask for the word to be repeated. Requests will be granted until the officials agree that the word has
been made reasonably clear to the speller. If a student takes unreasonable advantage of this opportunity, they will be
advised by the spellmaster to say the word and begin spelling.

5. If the word is a proper noun, the spellmaster must say “proper noun” after the word is given so that the student will
know to say “capital” at the beginning of the word. It does not disqualify the student, however, if he/she forgets to
say “capital” but spells the word correctly.

6. Words should be selected in a planned sequence, without regard to the perceived ability of the student. The student
will have 30 seconds to spell the word from the time they begin the word. Once a word is started, the student may
start over, but may only use the letters originally stated; no letter changes are allowed.
7. No talking will be allowed among contestants or between contestants and members of the audience. If a contestant
receives assistance from anyone in the audience, he/she will be disqualified. The audience is also requested to remain
seated until a break, to avoid confusing or distracting the contestants.

8. When a word is misspelled, the spellmaster will say, “That is incorrect,” then correctly spell the word for the
contestant, and give the next word to the next speller. However, when only two spellers remain, the procedures will
follow rules #10 and #11.

9. Rounds will continue, with a written record of which students went down in which round, until four students
remain. Then it will be announced that third and fourth places will be determined by the next two contestants to go
out.

10. When only two spellers remain, the spellmaster will pause to announce the change of elimination procedures. At
that point, when one contestant misspells a word, the other contestant shall be given an opportunity to spell that same
word. If the second contestant spells that word correctly, plus the next word on the spellmaster’s list, then the second
contestant shall be declared the champion.

11. At any point in the bee, if the competitors exhaust the word list for that grade, the spellmaster is to use words
from the next highest grade’s list. If, after a number of rounds, no one has been eliminated, the spellmaster is to
switch to the next higher grade’s word list. This applies even when there are only two competitors remaining.
 Club Spelling Bee Introduction and Opening Speech - Sample

“Good morning, I am [name, title] of the [Club name]. We are excited to host this year’s Spelling Bee.

We are a non-profit organization of women whose primary focus is to serve our local community. There
are [ # ] members in our club and 195 Women’s Clubs throughout the state of New Jersey. Last year, our club
volunteered [# ] hours and donated [ $ ] to our community.

I would like to welcome everyone and congratulate all our contestants participating in today’s Bee. Please
remember you are all achievers! It is important for you to feel proud of yourselves and pleased with your
accomplishments.

Please give a hand for all our contestants!

To the parents, it is very important that if any questions regarding our procedures or decisions arise, please
speak out immediately. We would like to address the questions as they arise, for after the Bee is over, we are
unable to make changes or corrections. Also, please refrain from comments (ohh’s and ahh’s) during a contestant’s
spelling of a word.” Finally, no flash photography is allowed by audience members during the Bee.

[Introduce judges, pronouncer, and other special guests] [Read the list of rules]

Ask the students if they would like a practice round. If yes, have them spell their names, schools or towns.

IMPORTANT! Explain the following to contestants:

- Tell them to speak loudly and clearly

- Emphasize the importance of SAY – SPELL – SAY
- Have the group shake their shoulders and take a deep breath
- Have the parents do the same—it gets everyone to laugh and relax.

Announce that there will be (#) children going to the District-Level Spelling Bee to be held on [date] at
