Adult Spelling Bee

Can you spell f-u-n? Then compete in Scottsdale Public Library's first adult spelling bee! Participate individually or grab some friends and join in teams of up to four.

Think you are a good speller? Join Scottsdale Public Library for our first Adult Spelling Bee, to find out for sure. You can join this spelling bee by yourself or in a team of up to four persons.

This is how it will go: 

     The moderator will pronounce each word, use it in a sentence, and will say the word again.

     After the moderator says the word a second time, each team will have 60 seconds to discuss their answer and write it down on the dry erase board. 

     After 60 seconds each team will hold up their answers.

     The word will then be projected onto a screen for everyone to see. 

     We will start with some easier words and work our way to more difficult words. 

     We will play 3 rounds. The winning team from each round will play against each other in a lightening round.

     Whichever team has the most points during the lightening round wins!

Participants, 18+ years,  must register to compete. Spectators are welcome without registration. We will be awarding first, second and third place winners.
