Story Time Chess The Game Includes:

Beautifully Designed Storybook
Stories are an incredibly powerful educational tool. Children have an astounding ability to retain stories down to the last detail. Telling a child an abstract rule may only confuse them because they have nothing to connect with. Instead of telling children what something is, Story Time Chess is perfect for showing the rules of chess – through stories.

Exercises For Each Piece
Each chess piece has its own story and exercises that explain how the piece moves in a fun, silly, memorable way.

Matching Pieces & Board
The board has characters that match the pieces, making the board setup easy!

Custom Chess Pieces
With our custom chess pieces, the children are able to connect the stories to the pieces more easily. By visually seeing the characters and physically touching the pieces, children are able to learn chess without realizing it. Each piece is designed to hold the character from their story in order to communicate the rules of chess effectively–and have fun!

Double-Sided Chessboard
Our double-sided chessboard and custom chess pieces are made from high quality, child-friendly materials and are regulation size for tournament play. Players can either use the story themed side with all of our characters, or the standard chess side for regular chess.

Cloth Storage Bags for Pieces
Brightly coloured storage bags for your Team Chomper and Team Shaky pieces.

30 Mini-Games
Story Time Chess also comes with engaging mini-games to reinforce the mechanics of the game. With over 30 mini-games to teach children the rules of chess effectively, they’re sure to get the basics down in no time. The card game included also encourages kids to use every chess piece!

Children Need Chess

Parents want to do everything possible to get their children ahead. Chess is a game that has been proven to be beneficial for people of all ages. Learning chess leads to increased test scores, stronger critical thinking skills, and ability to plan ahead, improved executive functions, and so much more.

When learning chess, the younger you start, the more beneficial it is. However, chess has rarely been accessible to children under the age of 7.
