In the Brownies Making Games Badge and Chess Patch program, girls
will learn about the history of chess through storytelling. They will
also learn the movements, names, and values of the pieces and how to
read the chessboard.
In this engaging two-hour course,
girls will use their imagination to rewrite the history of the pieces,
promoting values such as equality and non-discrimination by
envisioning roles where soldiers can achieve certain statuses without
bias.
No prior chess experience or chessboards are
needed, as activities will be conducted using a virtual chessboard.
Girls will earn a chess patch with a knight charm and badge. The chess
patch is included.
