Although we all know and love the classical version of the event like we see in popular american movies, we knew that we wanted to make it our own and tailor it to fit our school better. To do this, we would incorporate the school houses: Dickens, Bronte, Shakespeare and Chaucer. This is something we are going to try and bring up in many events, especially for the younger children as they seem to enjoy collecting house points for their house and trying to help their house to win at the end of the school year.
For the spelling bee, our plan so far is:
- Each player is given a number to simplify and speed up the game-play
- Divide the competitors into teams according to house
- First compete within each year group
- Winner house in each year group compete against winner in other year groups
- Words get harder as rounds progress (longer by one letter each round)
- Get points for each time you get one right (no points deducted)
- Then tally points to choose winning house - for final the winning houses choose one representative to compete
