We had our first homeschool chess club meeting last Friday and it was a great success. We had 16 children come and we had a few parents stay to learn how to play. It was so much fun and the kids were really into it. We are hoping that we will have continued success with getting kids out to play.
This week we are putting in a President, Vice President, Secretary and a few other leadership responsibilities so that the kids all learn more leadership skills. We are hoping that in short order the kids are running the show, teaching each other, and becoming great leaders.
My challenge is that I am not very creative at finding ways for the kids to be leaders and gain these great skills that are so needed! If anyone has any suggestions that would work in a chess club setting I would love to hear from you!
