Chess is a game that develops a child’s analytical abilities, spatial thinking and decision-making skills. Even small children easily learn to play chess, remember the rules and play with pleasure. The most difficult thing in teaching a child to play chess is getting started.
Chess is a game that requires the ability to visualize and navigate the game board. To help a little chess player better remember what a chessboard looks like, you can use various developmental exercises. For example, ask him to draw - on a white sheet of paper or with chalk on the asphalt - a fragment of a chessboard. Or put together a fragment of a chessboard from cubes of two colors. Or take a sheet of lined paper and ask your child to color the squares in a checkerboard pattern. While walking or visiting, pay attention to objects that have a “chess” pattern. Ask your child to remember where, besides the chessboard, he saw the same pattern. In all exercises, pay attention to the alternation of light and dark fields and prompt your child if he has made a mistake.
Horizontals and verticals This is what Pawn told Slava about Chess Country. On a chessboard, white and black cells always alternate. Paths formed from cells are called lines. Lines are vertical and horizontal. Place your finger on any square near the left edge of the board. Now slide your finger across all the cells from left to right - it has “walked” along a path of eight cells. This is a horizontal line.
There are only eight horizontal lines. Run your finger over each one. Look at the picture on the previous page so as not to be mistaken. The same paths lead from you towards the enemy. They are called vertical lines. There are eight verticals, as well as horizontals. Run your finger along each vertical line. There is a picture at the top of this page in case you get confused. To point to a cell, do not point your finger at it: this is impolite. In addition, when there are pieces on the board, they can be accidentally touched. You just need to say at the intersection of which vertical and horizontal lines the desired cell is located.
Each square on the chessboard has its own address so that it cannot be confused with others. The address consists of the name of the vertical and horizontal lines that intersect on this cell. The verticals are called letters of the Latin alphabet: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h. If you play with white, then square a is to your left. The horizontal lines are designated by numbers from 1 to 8. Then, when there are pieces on the board, you will see that number 1 is on the horizontal line on which the white king and queen stand, and number 8 is on the horizontal line on which the black king and queen stand. Look at the map on the next page: the names of the cells are now visible on it. Look at which square the white king is on. This is a vertical with the letter e and a horizontal with the number 1. This means that we must say: “The king stands on square el.” — So, I need to get to square el? - Slava asked when Pawn finished telling. - Exactly. There you will find the royal palace, and in it the White King. - How do I recognize him? “I’m sure you’ll guess right away.” Of course, horizontals and verticals are the most important lines in the chess kingdom. But you need to know not only about them. There are other lines too. Do you see how cells of the same color touch at the corners? Straight chains of such cells form diagonals. Diagonals are not like other lines. In each diagonal, all cells are the same color.
Another difference is that all horizontal and vertical lines are the same length, while the diagonals are different. Run your finger along all the diagonals and count them. Which diagonals are the longest? Which ones are the shortest? The large white diagonal and the large black diagonal have eight fields each. Where they intersect is the center of the chessboard. This is a square of four cells - two white and two black. Having said goodbye to Pawn, Slava went to look for the royal palace. The boy walked for quite a long time through white and black fields, but finally reached a large building. Approaching the huge doors of the palace, Slava heard someone inside loudly indignant: “It’s a disgrace!” Where can I find the general?! Why can't anyone in the kingdom find me a general?! It's outrageous! An important battle is coming soon, and there is no one to command the army! Slava carefully opened the door and looked inside. He saw a large hall with columns. In the middle of the hall there was a pedestal on which stood a throne, like in cartoons. On the throne sat a small man wearing a robe and crown. The Pawns stood in front of him - they all behaved very quietly and every now and then they bowed respectfully so that their berets almost fell to the floor.
The man on the throne was making the same screams that Slava had heard outside. The door creaked, and everyone immediately turned and stared at Slava. The boy was embarrassed and blushed. - Who are you and what are you doing here? - asked the man on the throne. - My name is Slava, hello. And you are probably the White King? - How did you guess? “You sit on the throne and shout at everyone else.” In fairy tales this is what kings usually do. - I know who you are! — the White King immediately declared. With these words, he jumped from the throne and quickly ran up to Slava. - You are my new general! Let's go see your troops! “You were mistaken, Your Majesty,” Slava answered politely (from cartoons he remembered how to address kings). - I'm not a general at all. Only adults and wearing caps are generals. “Nonsense,” the King snapped. - It's not about the cap. And if you want, I will find a cap for you. So, will you be my general or not?
- Why do you need a general? - To command my army, of course. After all, the battle is coming - someone must fight on my side! I have soldiers, all I need is a general. - What, your soldiers don’t know how to fight themselves? - Slava was surprised. - How can they! — the King was offended. - The best! But there must be discipline in everything. They are brought up this way: they will not go anywhere without an order, so that there is no confusion. Everything needs order! “Can’t you give orders yourself?” - Slava asked then.

Progress of the lesson.
Children enter the group.
Educator: Guys, today I want to tell you one amazing story. Make yourself comfortable.
Slide No. 1 is on the board screen.
Educator: We will learn about the amazing adventures of the chessboard
Slide No. 2
And
Educator: People lived freely on Earth in ancient times. They breathed clean, invigorating air, drank clear spring water, and hunted wild animals in the dense, majestic forests. And their children deeply inhaled the life-giving aroma of meadow herbs and flowers. But the guys didn’t have any interesting games.
Slide number 3.
Educator: One day the bravest guys Lena and Alen went to the Sorcerer and asked: “Where can we find an extraordinary game?” The Sorcerer grinned: “If you cross the Deep Forest, swim along the Stormy River and go through the Burning Fire, such a game will be next to you... But beware of the sorcerer.” Lena and Alen thanked the Sorcerer and set off. They really wanted to get the coveted game.
Slide number 4.
Educator: The guys were in a hurry and did not notice that one old man was following them. He watched the children predatorily and, grinning, patted his sides, where the empty bag dangled and the sharp sword rested in its sheath. Lena and Alen entered the Dense Forest, and the age-old trees swayed, rustling their leaves: “Opa... Oopa... Opa...”. They wanted to suggest that danger awaits children. But the guys did not pay attention to the whispering of the trees.
Slide number 5.
Educator: Lena and Alen went out into the clearing. (an image of a sorcerer is displayed on the screen)
Educator: and they came face to face with the old men. He laughed evilly: - Yeah, we got caught! Don't know me? I am the sorcerer Zvol (the image of the bag is displayed)
Educator: And this is my bag. I’ll put you in it and take you to my place. You will serve me. And Zvol tried to throw the bag over the guys, but missed. But Alain was not at a loss, tripped the sorcerer’s leg, and the old man fell. Alen and Lena took off running.
Slide number 6.
Educator: The sorcerer sees that he cannot catch up with the fugitives, he pulled out a sword and chopped at a tall tree. I sawed it through like a saw. Zvol aimed the tree at the guys, but didn’t hit. Only the branches whipped across the cheeks of Lena and Alain. Out of frustration, the sorcerer grabbed the stump with his sword and cut off a round piece of wood, large and smooth. Zvol grabbed the round timber and threw it forcefully at the fugitives (an image of the round timber is displayed on the slide).
Educator: Alen liked the round timber. He picked it up, stuck his tongue out at the sorcerer, and rushed on with Lena. They ran away from Zvol.
Slide number 7.
Educator: Here is the Forest behind. In front of the guys is the Stormy River. Let's lower your piece of wood into the water - it will be a raft, Lena suggested. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a sorcerer appeared in front of the guys. He stands there, stroking his sword mockingly. Zvol waved his sword over Alen; the boy barely managed to cover himself with the round timber as if it were a shield. The sorcerer raised and lowered the sword three more times, but he could not even scratch Alen. Only the shield changed from round to square. Then the sorcerer pushed Alena, threw Lena over his shoulder and trotted away. Alain was not taken aback and deftly threw his shield after the villain. Knocked the sorcerer's shield off his feet.
Slide number 8.
Educator: Guys, how do you think Lena and Alen can get across the raging river? (children's answers).
- That's right, they can swim across on their shield (demonstrates how children can swim across the river on a shield).
Slide number 9.
Educator: Zvol appeared on the other bank with a bow in his hands and, one after another, sent arrows at the fugitives. But the raft turned into a shield again and saved the children.
Slide number 10.
Educator: . Out of anger, the sorcerer broke his bow and wandered away. Lena and Alen pulled out the arrows from the shield and noticed that it had become lined with cells.
Slide number 11.
Educator: Ahead, the Burning Fire stands like a wall. Alen took Lena by the hand, put his shield forward, and they quickly, quickly ran through the Fire. The flames attacked the shield with fury, but Lena and Alen remained safe and sound.
Slide number 12.
Educator: The flames attacked the shield with fury, but Lena and Alen remained safe and sound. They made their way through the raging flames and were amazed: Burning Fire turned out to be a naughty person - every second cell on the shield turned black. (an image of a sorcerer is displayed).
Educator: Suddenly, Zvol jumped out of the Fire with a howl with a bag on his shoulder. The Burning Fire pinched his heels, but it didn’t help the boys - with a victorious cry, the sorcerer pulled the bag over them. (the image of the children is covered by the image of the bag)
Educator: But he was happy early. The bottom of the bag burned out, and the guys got out of it and ran away.
Slide number 13.
Educator: I'm tired of this evil guy! – Lena cried out in her hearts. - How to get rid of him? (image of a sorcerer).
Educator: The face of the Sorcerer appeared in the sky: - The power of the sorcerer is in his name... Decipher it, and the Evil One will lose its power. Alen took chalk out of his pocket and wrote in the squares of the shield: “ZVOL.” (the word Zvol is placed on the board)
Educator: Guys, help Alen and Lena decipher the word “Evil.” (children’s answers)
– “3” is probably “evil”? – Lena suggested. – What is “VOL”? - Shut up, shut up! – the villain babbled in fear. - Hooray! We're right! – Alain was delighted. – He is an evil sorcerer... But then his name would be ZKOL, not EVIL?! - I know I know! – Lena screamed. – ZVOL is the Evil Wizard! This is his secret! The sorcerer crouched, became decrepit and wandered away dejectedly, like a beaten dog. – We have come a difficult way. Even the sorcerer was defeated. Where is the treasured game? – Alain asked sadly. “It’s in your hands,” the Sorcerer smiled. – You are holding a CHESS BOARD in your hands. This is the site of the most exciting game in the world, whose name is CHESS!
Slide number 14.
Educator: But these are the types of chessboards.
Then a demonstration chessboard is set up.
Educator: This is a chessboard, chess battles take place on it. It is all neatly lined up into equal dark and light squares, which are called fields in chess. Light cells are white fields. Dark cells are black fields. Black and white fields always alternate: white-black-white-black.
Educator: In which fields does nothing grow? (children's answers)
What kind of boards can you use to build nothing? (children's answers)
In which cages are animals not kept? (children’s answers)
Chess training. Lesson plan. (expanded and supplemented)
A few words in favor of planned chess training. Parents are calm, they know what their children will study in the next lessons, what follows from what and why.
Learning chess according to a plan is more effective than chaotic lectures, lessons, and classes pulled from different books. That's what I think.
All developments are gradually being compiled into one table. It is below. (subscribe to site news and you will not miss updates and changes).
Naturally, this chess lesson plan is not a dogma, it will be supplemented by new interesting lessons, activities, such as, for example, exclusive, unlike anything else, my own developments, such as getting rid of yawns, concentrating attention and memory, as well as strategy and assessment positions, drawing up a game plan, simple and complex snakes, two-move chess, giveaways, mixed mini-tournaments, etc., etc.
This is only the beginning of learning chess, the basics, but all people without exception, including world chess champions, begin with the basics of learning.
I, as a chess coach, will write an approximate number of lessons on each topic.
By default, this work plan is designed for children from 5 to 8 years old. For smaller ones, each lesson needs to be repeated, and possibly several times. Of course, if you study theory for an hour two days a week, the results will be much more obvious, but there are also money issues and lack of time for seniors. That's why it's like that with little ones.
Their attention is poorly fixed, little children are constantly distracted, and it is difficult to retain and consolidate what they have learned in their memory. Therefore, perhaps, I think that children under 4 years old, in principle, should not be taught chess. Early. It is possible to start as early as 4.5 - 5 years old. After two or three lessons, such children are drawn into the learning process and then calmly endure half an hour or forty minutes of chess theory. In any case, children should be allowed to play among themselves. The game reinforces skills and children never get bored.
A training regimen once a week for one hour is certainly not enough. Parents who have the opportunity to send their children to me to learn chess twice a week have an advantage in their children’s development; the material is better consolidated and does not fade from memory. For those who are deprived of such an opportunity, I advise you to study with children at home, by yourself, for 15-20 minutes, two or three times a week, the materials are posted here, you can use them.
If you don’t have time at all, at least download the applications I recommend to your phone or tablet, or give your children the opportunity to play twice a week for half an hour directly on the site, there is a very convenient, beautiful program.
So - a very approximate plan for teaching chess for preschoolers
