Keeping in view , BKI E-11 arranged a Spelling Competition from KG to grade 3 under the title of Spellathon 2023. There were three rounds for KGs and 2 rounds for Grade 1,2 and 3. First round was interclass where the finalists had been selected for the next rounds which would be intraclass and section.
After selecting the finalists from all the sections of the same level, the final round had been arranged in a way where parents of the participants were invited and to keep it transparent a Judge from the other branch had been outsourced and requested to judge the round. Final round had three stages, Fishbowl Activity, Audio visual aid and Green card round as a rapid fire question.
All the participants performed amazingly and the competition was much appreciated by the parents and judges.
