If you have a pocket calculator, your den can play a spelling bee. The game is based on the fact that when the calculator's display is held upside down, seven of the numbers look like letters of the alphabet. They are:
- 1 = I
- 3 = E
- 4 = H
- 5 = S
- 7 = L
- 8 = B
- 0 = O
Turn your calculator upside down and enter the digits 3, 3, 8. The display will show "BEE." The object of the Calculator Game is to see how many words a boy can spell in this fashion. (Remind the boys that the words must be "spelled" backward on the calculator.)
