Spelling Bee
Spelling Bee is a live spelling bee and class quiz that the teacher runs round by round. Type a word and it turns into jumbled letter tiles for students to unscramble and spell, or ask a question instead, and the students you pick answer in secret on their own screens.
Use Spelling Bee together on your board.
When answers close, the teacher marks each one right or wrong, then reveals them to the whole class together with the points and a scoreboard. At the end, the final standings appear on a podium.
It runs on a shared MockFlow board, so the spelling bee sits next to your lesson notes, word lists and diagrams. Everyone on the board sees the same game at once and it stays in sync for all of them.
- Questions and jumbled words. Mix free questions with word scrambles in the same game. A jumbled word is shown as letter tiles, mixed the same way on every screen.
- One secret try each. Students get one answer per round, and answers stay hidden from other students until the teacher reveals them. The teacher sees answers arrive live, with how long each one took.
- The teacher marks. Exact matches to a jumbled word are ticked automatically, and the teacher decides the rest. A mark can still be changed after the reveal and the scores follow.
- Timer per round. Set 10, 20, 30 or 60 seconds, or no limit. The countdown shows in the header and answers close when it ends.
- Scoreboard and podium. Correct answers score 1, 5 or 10 points, set in the teacher's menu. Students who tie share a place, and the final standings show the top three on a podium.
- Scores now or at the end. Show the scoreboard after every round, or turn that off to keep the standings secret until the end of the game while answers and marks still show.
