Chess in Education

PLANNING your chess lessons

When making a lesson plan to use chess as an educational tool and planning for the whole academic year, teachers should consider a range of questions to ensure effective planning. By answering these questions, teachers can create well-structured lesson plans and develop a comprehensive approach to teaching chess throughout the academic year. This ensures that students not only learn the rules but also develop valuable social, emotional, cognitive and strategic skills through chess instructions.

Bring your ideas and expertise and share your best practices regarding planning for your chess lessons and for the new academic year.

Join the global conversation about using chess as a tool for education!

Every last Wednesday of the month ECU Education Commission and ChessPlus hold a Discussion Group meeting for chess educators to share and discuss their experiences, ideas and knowledge on different topics related to Chess in Education. The event is supported by the European Chess Union.

Discussion Group Meetings allow participants to share their knowledge and expertise on a particular topic regarding Chess in Education. Participants can learn from each other and gain new insights through different perspectives and experiences.
