And remember... before I share any advice or resources with you, I consult the world's experts. If it's recommended by Word Buff, then it's been recommended by champion spellers, bee organizers, or researchers in the field.

UPDATE -- I'm always getting emails from teachers asking for more information about how to run a spelling bee.

At last, I have a great answer for you! You'll find everything you need to organize and run your spelling bee in the Spelling Bee Toolbox...

This kit was put together by a teacher with years of experience in organizing spelling bees and competitions for schools and community organizations. It is much better than anything I could put together for you, and I'm sure it will sort you out ;-)

Just before you go... you might like to take a moment to sign up for my free Word Buff Stuff! newsletter. Simply enter your email and name in the box below, click 'Submit', and I'll send you out all sorts of knickknacks (is that how you would spell it?) from the world of words and word games.
