The Spell Bee Competition took place in the smart rooms. Participants from various grades eagerly participated in their respective categories, demonstrating their passion for language and wordplay.
Rhyming Words Round: The competition kicked off with the Rhyming Words Round, where students were presented with words and had to provide words that rhyme with them. This round not only showcased participants’ ability to think creatively but also highlighted their familiarity with phonetic patterns.

Participants exhibited their understanding of the usage and meanings of the homophones discussed in this engaging segment.
Antonyms and Synonyms Round: This round delved into antonyms and synonyms. Contestants had to provide both the antonym and synonym for a given group of words. This round underscored participants’ depth of understanding of word relationships and their ability to articulate nuanced meanings.
Scattergories Round: Adding a unique twist to the competition, the Scattergories Round required participants to generate words within a specific category, beginning with a designated group. This round encouraged quick thinking and vocabulary recall under time pressure, demonstrating contestants’ flexibility with language.
Anagrams Round: The Anagrams Round posed a thrilling challenge as participants were tasked with unscrambling jumbled letters to form valid words. This round not only assessed their spelling abilities but also tested their mental agility and pattern recognition.
