Spelling Bees

Facility Requirements for the ACSI Elementary Spelling Bee

  1. Opening Assembly and Awards Assembly: Church Sanctuary or Gymnasium, seating 250–300. (Optimal, but not required. The spelling bee can be conducted without an opening assembly, with awards being presented in the presentation rooms.)
  2. Judges Training: This room needs to be large enough to hold 25-40 judges for the training meeting that is held before the spelling bee. Each school will send up to five workers. Refreshments are often served. Some host schools serve a light luncheon during this meeting (optional, not required).
  3. Presentation Rooms: Eight classrooms are needed (or seven classrooms and an auditorium). Depending on the number of schools registered, normally one classroom per grade level is sufficient. Schools can bring one child per classroom for each grade level.
  4. Refreshment Area: Serving refreshments for volunteers or students is optional.
  5. Time for Event: The bee can be conducted in a half-day event starting in the morning or early afternoon. Some schools conduct the bee for first–fourth grades on one day, and for fifth–eighth grades on another.
