Someday I'll Be a Queen - Bundle - Christel Minne - Bog

This bundle consists of two books: a children¿s picture
book, Someday I¿ll Be a Queen, along with a Toolbox for
adults who want to teach children to play chess.How are these books different from other chess books for
young children? The picture book starts as a fairy tale about a king, a dragon
and a young girl with a dream. A young girl is the main character because
I want to encourage girls and make it clear that this game is also for them.The history of the game of chess is incorporated as you get
acquainted with the characters.The picture book is very inviting, with plenty of funny and
beautiful drawings. There is a lot to discover! For the youngest preschoolers, it is best to tell the story
in your own words, but the older preschoolers fully enjoy the rhyming story.Every chess rule is found in an attractive drawing. This was
an important didactic choice made by the author.The story is told in rhyme. Preschoolers love repetition and
this is a handy tool when memorizing the chess rules.
The accompanying Toolbox explains in a unique way how
to start playing chess: the rules, the tips and tricks anyone needs to
know are presented here. The Toolbox features two parts: how to teach one
pupil or a group of pupils. The author provides a unique approach, drawing on
her phenomenal teaching experience over the past decades.
