Inaugural U.S. Bananagrams School Tournament Launches in Three States

Bgrms ChallengeThe Bananagrams Challenge, the first official U.S. Bananagrams school tournament, is open for registration to elementary schools throughout Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The free-to-enter challenge is intended to help boost vocabulary and spelling skills in classrooms and after-school programs.

Children in grades 4, 5, and 6 are invited to play a series of Bananagrams games with classmates. Through a process of elimination, each school finds its champion, who then competes in a series of online word-based games—using grade-appropriate spelling lists—for one of 12 places at the Grand Final in Rhode Island on April 9.

All finalists will receive a Bananagrams Goodie Bag, and the child crowned Top Banana wins a trophy and $1,000 for his or her school. Each school to register, in turn, receives a free Bananagrams Challenge Welcome Pack that provides everything teachers need to run their schools’ challenge, including two Bananagrams games and a copy of Workman Publishing’s Bananagrams for Kids.

More information can be found at the official Bananagrams Challenge site.
