I just cannot express how important chess can be within the life of a child. Studies show that children who play chess tend to score higher on achievement tests versus those who do not play. They learn many valuable skills such as sportsmanship, strategy, critical thinking etc. Now that my students have developed a better understanding of chess, I would like the opportunity to use the chess timers to create more of a challenge for them. They will quickly learn how to move in a time efficient matter using the strategies they have been taught within the classroom and developed through personal experience. My mission is to break the stereotype of athletic players versus chess players and help students come to the realization that you can be involved in both teams! Also, with the giant chess board and pieces, I would love to integrate chess into physical education. Students will have to physically lift and move the chess pieces which will have a major impact on my kinesthetic learners while also promoting teamwork within the classroom. This will be very unique approach to chess that will make the game even more active and exciting for everyone. They will be able to not only use this set within the gifted classroom but also at recess, fundraisers, etc.
