Spelling bee for kids returns
Are you between the ages of seven and 12 and know your alphabet? If yes, Aunt Zimmy invites you to enter a spelling competition.
Homework Club with Aunt Zimmy will host a spelling bee competition at the Uvongo Town Hall on August 31 from 10:00.
The competition is for children between the ages of seven and 12 who know their alphabet.
Zimkhitha Tshobonga (Aunt Zimmy) said the idea of a spelling bee competition has always been on her mind, but she did not know how to implement it or make it a reality.
“Thank God for Homework Club because it opened a platform for me to implement my ideas and uplift the community at the same time. The kids will benefit as public speaking at a young age will boost their confidence. They will learn new words which will add to their vocabulary, and that will improve how they answer comprehension tasks at school in their respective subjects/languages,” said Tshobonga.
She added children will also learn that a good challenge is worth all the energy and time in life.
Tshobonga said it is a competition; some will win, and some won’t, yet that should not discourage them but motivate them to do better.
She said the competition is open to children on the South Coast.
“I believe that the South Coast has so much potential, and I cannot wait to see that on August 31.”
She explained that the competition was mostly inspired by the competitions she entered in primary school.
“I won all those competitions in primary school because I was good. In doing a second edition of the spelling bee competition, we will go bigger and better because we have last year’s competition as a reference,” said Tshobonga.
Tshobonga’s Homework Club with Aunt Zimmy won a Next Billionaire Award (TNB) under the category of Upcoming Business during an awards ceremony held at the Wild Coast Sun recently.
