Introducing children to the game of checkers is a great way to develop logical thinking, memory, attentiveness, the ability to analyze, calculate your actions several moves ahead and understand the consequences of certain steps. Regularly playing checkers, children will also learn to show intuition, train goal-setting skills (that is, the ability to break a goal into several important tasks and systematically move towards their solution). Passion for checkers will enable the child to increase self-confidence, gain experience in making the right decisions, and form forecasting skills. One of the features of this ancient game is the creation of a unique atmosphere of healthy excitement, competition, and risk! The child will be able to learn to analyze his own mistakes and adequately respond to both wins and losses.
