Word Onyx Spell It, Tell It Competition
2026-03-28 10:00 - 14:00 (Africa/Lagos)
Word Onyx Spell It, Tell It Competition is a dynamic program that combines literacy, storytelling, and digital creativity to inspire children and promote schools.
This initiative not only improves spelling, vocabulary, and storytelling skills in students but also provides schools with valuable content that drives visibility, parent engagement, and patronage. By turning learning outcomes into shareable stories and animations, schools showcase innovation and excellence while giving students life-changing opportunities.

How It Works

Spell It – Participants play using the WordOnyx card game, forming as many valid words as they can.

Tell It – They then use the words they formed to create an original story, which they submit on our website. The best storytellers are taught how to animate their stories. They submit their final animated stories for judging.
