Teachers, parents, grandparents, and chess coaches learn how to build it up step by step. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe message is, have fun! Enjoy the book and the game together. Take your time. Don't go through the book all at once but learn piece to piece after which you rehearse the chess piece.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI work with small groups of 6 to 8 children for a maximum of 30 minutes at a time. With the four-year-olds, I explain about the king and after that, we play four different games. During the last game, before they learn to move the rook, I put a car on the chess board. Every toddler knows not to stand in the street when a car approaches. So they have to move their king to safety each time. Actually, they are already lifting check without realizing it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe hardest thing for experienced and trained chess players is to apply the game in such a way that you think at the toddler's level. Make it very simple. Don't overwhelm them with too many rules at once. Tackle it playfully using the language of their environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thinkers Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789464201895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.60h x 9.40w x 0.20d","brand":"Christel Minne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53514251731125,"sku":"9789464201895","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9789464201895.jpg?v=1791903236","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/someday-ill-be-a-queen-toolbox-playing-chess-with-children-9789464201895","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
