Like to make chess easy and fun for everyone? 

This course is for you!

Over the course of three 1hour sessions, we’ll introduce you in a very gentle way to how the pieces move, how to play different mini-games that you can teach your class (Junior Infants up to Leaving Cert!), and how to organise your class chess lessons.

We’ll suggest great ways that chess can be used to enhance your teaching at all levels.

Suitable for complete beginners or those who haven’t taught chess in the classroom before.
