Find Graphics For Spelling Bee Challenges

Choose your bee graphics.


Being able to easily find graphics will save teachers or coordinators time when preparing for a spelling bee challenge. Using graphics is visually enticing, encourages children to participate, and holds participants' interests in the event. Graphics can be found online or from offline sources. Spelling bees are an exciting opportunity for school age children to improve their spelling and vocabulary. Children can also gain confidence and experience being in front of an audience. Spelling bee participation by adults, especially in the older years, helps to keep the brain active.


Instructions


1. Photos can be used as graphics.


Decide whether to use only one graphic or a combination of different graphics. For example: Will the same image of a bee be used for everything during the bee challenge, or will multiple images be used interchangeably?


2. Use various photos as graphics.


Decide on what type of graphic(s) will be used for the spelling bee challenge. For example: clip art, photos, rubber stamps or drawings.








3. Free graphics can be downloaded from the Internet.


Visit a website with free downloadable graphics. Use the search feature, if available, to search for graphics by keyword. For example, "bee" or "spelling bee."


4. You can use drawings for your graphics.


Ask children or adults to draw pictures that can be used as graphics.


5. Use rubber stamps as graphics.








Ask the office staff at the school or organization if they have any spelling bee materials, diecuts or rubber stamps. Family or friends may also be a resource for these items. Rubber stamps can also be found at most craft stores or online.
