Spelling Buzz Intermediate - Grades 4-6 from Gamco
Spelling has never been more fun!
Compete against Buzz, the bee, in these interactive spelling bee activities. In Spelling Bee, points are earned for correct spellings, and the player with the highest score at the end of ten words is the winner. Do you want the contest to be easy, a little hard, or a real challenge? In an easy game, Buzz will be slow on his buzzer; for a real challenge, Buzz will be quick to buzz. You can even set the game for two players and compete against your fellow classmates.
Spelling has never been more fun with this highly interactive program. Students are introduced to various spelling rules, practice through engaging activities, and test their knowledge with motivational spelling bee contests.
For Grades 4-6.
Summary of Activities include Spelling Bee, Spelling Scramble, Spelling Theater, and Meet the Words:
Spelling Bee
Compete against Buzz, the bee, or go head-to-head against classmates.
Spelling Scramble
Students unscramble words as graphic clues are slowly revealed on the drive-in movie screen.
Spelling Theater
When students hear a word, they either type it or click the hint button for help. Watch the characters celebrate when words are spelled correctly!
Meet the Words
Students first see the words they’ll be spelling. The computer tells them which rule applies to this lesson (e.g. the short“a” sound), then gives two examples.
