Class Spelling Bee

Put the bee on your classroom screen and run it from your phone. Nobody logs in on the big screen, and nobody sits out in a Team bee.

How it works

Set up the bee here on your phone, tablet or laptop: who is spelling, which words, and Team bee or Classic.
Open spellcrush.fun/board on the big screen. It shows a short code. Type it here, or scan its QR code with your phone. No login on the board.
Run the bee from your phone. The board calls each speller up, plays the word, the sentence and the meaning, and shows the right spelling after you judge it.

Kind to every speller

Team bee keeps the whole class spelling: teams take turns, a missed word can be stolen, and nobody is knocked out. In a Classic bee, children who miss sit down at the end of the round and are thanked by name. There are no buzzers and no red screens, and everyone can write each word on a mini whiteboard as they go.
