By chance I saw a enlae this post on Linkedin and I was pleasantly surprised. Chess is a great game, all my summers as a child pointed me to a chess club, and at school the last day of each course, several friends got along boards and we organized some games that just playing middle class. The truth is that this game could do much good in the classroom as it is very beneficial in every way.
Please comment Antonio!
Undoubtedly experiences like yours with this type of games and activities is the best example for teachers or schools that are considering inclusion within school hours.

I love the idea, It helps develop many skills and better prepare them for life…not because it has taken so long to think of introducing.
In my school there were no classes for all chess, but you had the option of attending classes chess.
The methodology presented in the video, it's great, from an early age they learn to play with her body, and slowly increasing the difficulty of the game and the skills needed to carry it out, and enthusiasm that children have to participate and learn this new game for them…is incredible.
Thank you very much for this post and the fantastic video.
Thank you for comment this article Nuria! 🙂
We'll see if it comes down to implement in classrooms.
A hug,
Cristina
