Adult Spelling BeeDescription
Teams of up to four people are invited to challenge others in a spell-off. Single participants can join others to form a team. The announcer will give each individual team a word, then they will have 30 seconds to spell it. Teams that spell their word correctly will advance to the next round. Teams that have misspelled their word have the option to use one of three lifelines: “Ask the Hive”, “Buzz Off”, or “Stinger”.
“Ask the Hive” allows the team who uses it to ask the audience for help in spelling their word; “Buzz Off” passes on the spelling of a word; “Stinger” lets the team pass on the spelling of a word, then requires another team (of their choosing) to spell a word picked from the “Stinger” pile.
The last two teams standing will have a spell-off and the winner will receive a prize. For a full set of rules, visit the library’s website at library.dover.nh.gov. The event is free and open to the public.
The Dover Public Library’s Adult Spelling Bee debuts in honor of National Library Week, which takes place April 8 through April 14. National Library Week celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. Stop by the library throughout the week for more National Library Week activities.
