This beginner-level chess course is crafted especially for kids taking their first steps into the exciting world of chess. Through creative storytelling, movement-based activities, and colorful board play, students explore the chessboard, meet all the chess pieces, and learn their movements in a fun, hands-on way. From the King’s safety to the Knight’s jump, each session builds familiarity and joy around the game. Children develop early critical thinking, patience, and problem-solving through guided play and interactive mini-games. By the end of the course, kids will not only recognize every piece and rule but also enjoy playing simple games with confidence.
