Spelling Bee can hold 7 letters. I use one in my reading show.
You can have words like "Library" and also "Reading." "Success" is also another 7 letter word. BTW, Steve Hart makes and sells a jumbo version of Spelling Bee. - Donald

The age of the children should be considered. If you were doing spelling tricks be aware that if they are 4 or 5, they might not be able to participate the same way. They might know letters but might not be able to READ yet. So you need to inspire them but do not overly focus on effects that might require them to read something.
Like if they were all 4 and 5 I should not expect they could read the word "Success" in a trick like Spelling Bee or know the word without hearing it. I am NOT saying DON'T use the effect but choose the words wisely. Another example is a David Ginn published effect called Lobster Cards. This requires them to read to you the next word and then spell it. This fun effect could be lost on kids that want to but can't read yet. I suggest you always prepare that you will have a majority of younger kids. If they are early 4 and early 5 you need to tailor some effect differently than if they were late 5 (going on year 6) |

ABC Stung is also a very strong effect that plays well for libraries. The kids can relate to it and it has a very nice and clever ending.

Good point about the age, Mark. I am used to performing Spelling Bee in my elementary school shows, and usually choose a student that is in grade 2 or 3 for that routine.
I also do a variation of the Lobster Cards in my holiday show, and have done it a few times with younger (preschool aged children), but I picked more mature children to help me spell the words on the chart. All they had to do was read the letters, and I "help" them if they don't recognize a letter. Most times, I am doing this in a family show at a holiday party, and tend to choose older children once again, and am prepared to "help" so they don't get put on the spot, and become embarassed. - Donald
