How to organise a spelling bee

Step 1
Use a variety of easy, medium, and difficult words.

Step 2
Have a small prize for the winner. The prize doesn't have to be something material.

Step 3
Organize the spelling bee is all the students have a chance. Dyslexic students or those with major spelling problems should be paired with stronger spellers.

Step 4
Practise many times before the actual spelling bee event. Modeling a spelling bee ahead of time may put all anxiety and fears aside for some learners.

Step 5
Create fun ways for the students to study the spelling words before the spelling bee actually happens.

Step 6
Decide as a class on the rules such as timing and how a person is eliminated.
