My kids dont like it as much because it makes them do school work in the summer.

The Scripps spelling bee game helps you with spelling and having fun at the same time! You can play a game that has to do with spelling words at your own difficulty. It is great to have it if you absolutely love spelling. I know I do, but think about it, do you?

We purchased this for our two older kids so they can add their school list to study for their tests. The manual doesn't go into detail on this feature and as we discovered you can only add the school list under Mini Games. There are several mini games to help the kids memorize their list. This has helped our 1st grader maintain an A+ grade in his spelling tests. More than one child can set up a profile too which helps if two are more are using the game for separate lists. To AngryMom, I understand your frustration. It took me a while to understand this game as it didn't have clear instructions. Try adding your child's list to Mini Games and see if this helps with their spelling words for school.

its a good game to me. i like it good graphics and easy to figure out!

I have just purchased the Scripps Spelling Bee game and I cannot get the Practice or Test area to allow me to select the Study List for m daughter's school words. This is the only reason I purchased this software. The current word list is too difficult. I have contacted Nintendo and they referred me to a company who referred me to another company. I am so disappointed! The only reason I purchased this was to help my child with her spelling. The manufacture (who ever that may be) should have at least provided a better manual or online support for users who intent was to use this for a study tool. I would not buy! Wish I can return mine!
