Chess for kids, one piece at a time
Chess for Kids turns learning chess into a journey through nine colorful worlds. Each world teaches one idea, with a friendly character as a guide, short levels and plenty of stars to collect. It's free, and ChessScout.net is Teacher Approved on Google Play.
Nine worlds to explore
Pawn Village, Knight Forest, Bishop Hills, Rook Castle, Queen Palace and King Garden teach how each piece moves. Capture Cove, Check Mountain and Checkmate Castle then teach how to win pieces, give check and finish the game.
Short levels, real progress
Every level is a small puzzle on a real board. Children learn by moving the pieces themselves, not by reading rules.
From first moves to first games
Once the worlds are done, kids can play practice bots starting at 400, solve puzzles, and play games against family and friends with a challenge link.
