Free Online Spelling Bee Site for Kids...
by Barbara Higgins
I want to introduce you to our new (and free!) on-line spelling bee for students K-7. Designed for students K-7, BigIQBee contestants find themselves backstage at a spelling bee where they receive final instructions before heading out to the lectern. Under the bright lights and gaze of a supportive audience, contestants are presented with grade appropriate spelling words by Jake - the avatar moderator. Each word is given alone and then used in a sentence. The contestants have 90 seconds to type in their answer. Misspelled words mean elimination while correct answers are rewarded with advancement and the opportunity of increasing their ranking and a chance to earn a spot on the Top 5 Spellers’ podium. Simulating the pressure-paced atmosphere of a live competition, BigIQBee is an excellent educational resource for kids and the classroom. Today, children want to be on-line and BigIQBee satisfies this need with an educational premise and an engaging format. Click here to read or post comments.
