Who will be named #KZNsLastKidStanding?

After 5 weeks of competitive spelling, we have six finalists who are ready to battle it out in the grand finale of Last Kid Standing - Spelling Bee Edition.

We have received over 500 entries from across KZN, but these kids stood out amongst the rest. Here are your finalists: 

The grand finale is an online and on-air event like no other. Here’s what you can expect on 18 May:

• The Spelling Bee will take place during the full 3 hours of the show hosted by Darren, Keri and Sky

• All kids will be asked to spell that Clifton School has supplied according to the grade 4 syllabus

• A 10 second and 5-second timer will be introduced during rounds

• During the determining rounds, we will no longer make use of the words supplied by Clifton but rather a selection of words  that Darren, Keri and Sky have put together

• The selection of words supplied by Darren, Keri and Sky will be stored in a glass bowl where the kids playing, and viewers will have a full line of sight that the words selected are done at random

• Darren, Keri and Sky’s selection of words are themed around common grade 4 words, KZN terms and landmarks.

• The judges' decision will be final

• All 6 participants will walk away with a selection of prizes, a medal and an ECR personalized hamper

• The finale can be accessed via East Coast Radio’s Facebook Live stream or on-air

• Standard T’s and C’s Apply

With R100 000 worth of prizes up for grabs, this is one main event you do not want to miss!
