Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The king is in danger! Who can save him? Our students can! With these tournament-quality chess sets, my students can get in the game with a chess club! Students will learn the basics of the world's most celebrated game of strategy!

From piece movement to tournament play, these chess sets and timers will help students get into the game of chess and socialize as they play chess!

These materials of chess sets and timers will allow students to use their critical thinking skills to master strategy, have fun, explore different gambits, and put their pieces to the test! The timers will add that speedy edge to a riveting game! The formation of a chess club will bring opportunities for students to acquire fun new skills learning this ancient and fun game!

Get in the game! We want to hear "checkmate!" at our school with these chess sets and timers for our new chess club! Please support this project and help us protect the king! Thank you for your support!
