Owosso, MI, October 01, 2022 --(PR.com)-- ChessKid announces a “Chess Clubs in Libraries” initiative aimed at helping to introduce chess to students.
ChessKid, the #1 scholastic chess site for kids, has announced a new Chess Clubs in Libraries initiative to send out free chess club starter kits in North America. Starter chess club kits will include:
5 chess boards & pieces (sets)
A "How the Pieces Move" poster
Free ChessKid Gold Memberships
Carey Fan, CEO of ChessKid said, “ChessKid is proud to help support the start-up of Chess Clubs in Libraries. Starting a scholastic chess club has many advantages for kids, schools, and the larger chess community. Kids learn from each other, and having others at the same skill level can build enthusiasm for playing."
Interested US or Canada-based Media Library Specialists can apply by filling out the application at https://go.chesskid.com/freelibrarykit
Media Centers and Libraries can apply until Thanksgiving on November 24, 2022.
School media centers are often the chosen location for chess programs, as they offer a free meeting space with supervision and safety. They are increasingly becoming the school centers for tinkering, coding, and playing.
Here are some reasons why schools are adding chess play into their media centers:
Chess provides engaging ways for students to practice skills relating to classroom learning targets, including STEM, math, and spatial skills.
Playing board games can support social-emotional learning. Collaborative or competitive, there are social lessons learned from playing chess.
Regular chess clubs keep students coming into the media center and will increase positive and fun engagement.
