THE MOST FUN & EFFECTIVE WAY TO TEACH CHESS: Story Time Chess is the only game in the world that teaches kids as young as 3 the rules and strategies of chess. Our unique method harnesses the magic of storytelling: instead of having to learn complex, boring rules, children are introduced to engaging stories and colorful characters.
My 4-year-old actually asks to play this, which I never expected. The character pieces each have their own backstory, so she remembers how the knight moves because of the little horse story, not because I drilled her. We've played almost every night this week.
The little story cards turned the pawn into a character my daughter genuinely cares about, so she asks to play instead of me bribing her. Three weeks in and she's already beating me at the basic captures.
My five-year-old actually remembers how every piece moves now, thanks to the silly stories that go with them. I was skeptical about teaching chess at three, but this has her begging to play every night.
