CONTEST RULES

Rule 1

There will be a total of 150 words in Arabic, French, and German; 300 words in English shared with contestants. The speller chooses a number from 1 to 20. The pronouncer announces the word from excel lists. There will be a total of 5 rounds before unseen words from a chosen book.

Rule 5

The judge(s) determines whether the word was spelled correctly. If the correct spelling was given, the speller remains in the game.

Rule 2

The pronouncer announces the word to be spelled. The student speaks slowly and clearly, without distorting the standard pronunciation of the word.

Rule 6

If the spelling is incorrect, that speller is eliminated from the game. The judge gives the correct spelling of that word. Then the pronouncer reads a new word to the next student.

Rule 3

The speller listens carefully to the pronouncer and asks for the word to be repeated if necessary.

Rule 7

When there are only two spellers left, if one player misspells a word, the other player must spell that word correctly to be declared the winner of the spelling bee.

Rule 4

When the speller is sure she understands the word, she pronounces it, spells it, and then repeats it. S/he must say it loudly enough for the judge to hear it.

Rule 8

A student can only participate in one of the categories.

Final Round

The Final Round will be held on-site in the SIS Cairo branch on May 20, 2024.
