Details
IIL Camps is delighted to offer this playful initiation to chess, specially designed for children from 4 to 7 years old, to discover the king of games, with recognized educational benefits.
Supervised by Clovis Vernay, International Grandmaster, children from 4 years old will have fun learning to play chess, while stimulating their concentration and solving problems adapted to their young age.
Each child will be given a workbook of basic rules and important first themes. They will be able to see their progress and continue their learning beyond the camp.
In addition to learning how to play, children will be able to create together the 64 squares of the chessboard and the 32 pieces that make up a chess set. Each day, key themes will be covered in this creative workshop, such as coordinates to learn how to find their way around the chessboard and the representation and value of each piece.
The sessions will take into account the concentration and attention span of the young children. Each afternoon will be organised as follows:
2:00-2:45pm: introduction to the rules of the game
2:45-3:30pm: creative workshop
3.30-4:00pm: snack and playtime
4:00-4:30: exercises in individual notebooks
4:30pm-5:00pm: chess games
Chess is a great learning tool, and the creative and playful dimension of this camp brings an undeniable motivating plus for young children.
Checkmate… It’s up to you!
