We introduce the Board Buddies in LogiQ Land, our new handbook for parents and teachers written by Márk Szávin, our educational consultant at LearningChess.

“Children of the Z and Alpha generations will face many new challenges in the future, and most of them will pursue careers that do not even exist today. The primary purpose of this book is to introduce games and exercises that develop creative thinking and thus enable children to tackle and solve unexpected, complex problems confidently.” – says Márk.

Bemutatkozik az országos Te-jössz! sakk-logika verseny 2019 győztese!

 „Hol volt, hol nem volt, az Óperenciás tengeren is túl, volt egy osztály. Egy osztály, amelyik okos, csak egy kicsit bolondos.„ Az elmúlt két évben számos videonk kezdődött így. Meséltünk a barátságról, a pénzről, az internetről. Mese közben jobban megismertük egymást, egyre bátrabbakká váltunk. Közben jókat nevettünk.

Kik is vagyunk mi? Debrecenben tanulunk, egy híres mesemondóról (Benedek Elek) elnevezett iskolában, második osztályban.  Mesés az életünk is. Hiszen hála természetes kíváncsiságunknak nagyon sok mindent kipróbáltunk. 

OLVASS TOVÁBB!

Chess got more focus in early years development. Now we would like to introduce an interesting method from the Alfiere Bianco sports company in Italy.

Five and six year old children are using a giant chess board to help develop their psychomotor skills. By playing music and movement-based games on the board, children learn about directions, numbers, letters, listening to and following instructions, and working as a team.

The complete curriculum, videos, sample lessons, and other interesting details can be found on the FIDE Early Years Skills website.
