K12, 4H, Chess Club
My online school teacher is helping me secure a location to do a chess club at the 4H building. The beauty of this is that the kids that come do not have to join 4H to participate although it is a bonus. For right now we are keeping it to K12 students in our area and I'm sure it will be open to current 4H kids. In time if the group is not all that big we can open it up to all homeschool families in our area.
I am hoping that I can do justice to this because I really don't know a lot about chess but I do have a firm belief in the good that it does for kids. My own children have loved playing and doing tournaments. They have had formal training to a point and I am excited for them to have the chance to play more during chess club time.
For those of you who may not know the benefits of chess Benefits of Chess for Children.
