2024 SPELLING BEE

CONTEST
Colegio Ferrini
Spelling Bee
GENERAL RULES
Participants pick a numbered paper from the plastic box. The pronouncer
then reads the word from a corresponding word list.
The pronouncer calls out the word twice before the participant attempts to
spell it.
Participants must repeat the word before and after spelling it, e.g. “flower, f-
l-o-w-e-r, flower.”
The pronouncer must respond if the participant asks for a definition, or they
must provide a sample sentence.
If participants spell a word incorrectly they are eliminated.
Spelling Bee
GENERAL RULES
If the eliminated participants or someone from the audience, starts
whispering the answers, nodding or shaking their heads, they must
leave immediately.
Each participant should be given one minute to spell the word
correctly.
Spelling Bee
ROUNDS 1–3
All participants will be divided into 4 groups.
There will be 3 rounds in each group, during which each participant
will spell a word.
Participants accumulate points according to the number of words
spelt correctly:
Word spelt correctly = 5 points (green flag)
Word spelt incorrectly = 0 points (red flag)
After rounds 1–3, the judges add up the participants’ points. Only the
two participants with most points will be able to compete in the final
rounds.
Spelling Bee
FINAL ROUNDS
Once a participant has been given a word to spell by the
pronouncer, they have to pronounce the word before and after
spelling it. If they fail to do this, they are eliminated.
The participant can ask the pronouncer to say the word again and
ask for a maximum of three repetitions
Having started to spell the word, a participant may stop and start
over. However, they cannot change any letters, or their sequence,
from those first pronounced. If they do so, they will be eliminated.
Spelling Bee
FINAL ROUNDS
Participants have one minute. If a participant exceeds the time, the
judges can decide whether or not to request an immediate spelling.
The judges may eliminate any participant who ignores a request for
an immediate spelling.
