Inspired by the educational objectives of the WordGirl television show, the annual WordGirl Definition Competition engages children in grades 1-3 with vocabulary words in an entertaining and interactive context. In a game-show setting, children put their vocabulary skills to practice as they are asked questions pertaining to word usage, reading comprehension, definitions and using words in different contexts. The Definition Competition consists of three short rounds plus a bonus round.
WordGirl is a crime-fighting superhero who uses her vocabulary strength in a never-ending battle for truth, justice and use of the right word! Along with her trusty sidekick, Captain Huggy Face, WordGirl battles and prevails over evil (albeit ridiculous and comical) villains. Only a superhero like WordGirl, endowed with power punches and dictionary strength, can put the word-wrenching scoundrels back in their place proving once again that crime doesn't pay...but knowing the right word for the right moment is priceless.
