Grown Up Spelling Bee

Use a classic childhood competition for your next fundraiser. Have a grown up spelling bee. Find volunteers that would like to participate. You can either collect an entry fee to raise money, or charge an admission fee to the audience. Give participants a copy of the “Spell It” book to study from. Use the official spelling bee rules, such as asking for a definition of a word and asking to use it in a sentence. Use easier words for the first few rounds. Later rounds should be interesting as you start using the more difficult words, such as extrapolate or neurological. Have a concession stand and sell snacks and drinks to earn extra money. It would be really cute to sell cookies cut into letter shapes and alphabet soup. Give each participant a certificate and award the winner a trophy and a dictionary. This would be a fun event to host every year, so consider getting a large trophy that you can engrave with all the winners’ names.

I really like this idea. I work for a legal non-profit org. and this would be perfect for our lawyers and their family members to participate in.
