Gate City elementary school has started a new and fresh idea to get kids excited about chess. A local business man made a donation so shirts can be bought for the kids to be human chess pieces! The Superintendent really supports the idea as chess really helps the kids critical thinking skills.
I also support new and innovative idea to encourage kids to get involved in chess. I hope other schools will follow examples such as this!
Here is an interesting story where school aged kids are encouraged to get involved with the game of chess by playing human chess!
