Details
IIL Camps is thrilled to offer this fun introduction to chess, specially designed for children aged 5 to 7, to discover the “king of games” and its well-known educational benefits.
Guided by Clovis Vernay, International Grandmaster, children as young as 5 will be able to have fun while learning to play, stimulating their concentration and solving problems tailored to their age.
Each child will receive a workbook covering the basic rules and key introductory themes, allowing them to track their progress and continue learning chess beyond the camp.
In addition to learning how to play, children may even have the chance to create together the 64 squares of a chessboard and the 32 pieces that make up a chess set. Each day will focus on key themes, such as understanding coordinates to navigate the board, and learning the representation and value of each piece. The sessions are designed to respect the concentration and attention span of young children.
Chess is a fantastic learning tool, and the creative and playful dimension of this camp makes it even more motivating and enjoyable.
Check, and mate… your move!
