Spell Bee Word: Celebrate


What does celebrate mean?

Word: Celebrate

Part of Speech: Verb

Meaning: Celebrate means to do something special and happy, like having a party, because of an important day or a piece of good news.

How do you spell celebrate?

Syllables: cel - e - brate

Tricky part: The first c is soft and sounds like s. The vowel after l is e, not i, and the word ends with a silent e.

Watch out for: selebrate, celibrate, celebrait

Memory tip: Count the e's: c-E-l-E-brat-E. There is one e in each of the three parts, cel-e-brate.
