Hello, it's Mr. Shnoose, the manager of the Fluesville factory, bringing you Flues Mania,

the fun-filled Flues challenge for kiddos of all ages.

Today is the Flues Mania weekly spelling bee and we have five words for you to spell.

And we're going all in on food. Every word is something you can eat. So that's a bit of hungry fun in it.

Now race out and find yourself a piece of paper and a pencil and let's get to those words.

While you're off getting your pencil and paper, I'll play the Fluesville team music for ten seconds.

Ready? Set. Go get that paper and pencil

Okay amazing spellers I hope you've got your paper and pencil and you're ready to spell.

Here comes word number one. The word is banana.

Can you use it in a sentence, Mr. Shnoos? You know, that's funny you should ask. Because I can.

Bananas are crunchy.

Hold on a minute here. That can't be right.

Are bananas crunchy? Let me try that again.

Bananas are yellow, you peeled them, and you eat them.

And they are not crunchy unless you cover them in granola.

Ah, there you go.

See, this banana tastes pretty good.

I hope you've got banana written down by now because here is the correct answer B, A, N, A, N, A, B. Banana.

On to word number two. Are you ready? The next Flues Mania spelling pea word is celery.

This word is a little bit tricky because it sounds like it

should start with an S. I'll give you a hint. It doesn't. It also doesn't start with a Z.

That would spell Zellery. I'm pretty sure that's really not actually anything.
