Chess Challenge

South Central Service Cooperative is proud to host this opportunity for area students in grades 4–8 to demonstrate their chess skills. Students compete individually and as school teams in a variety of activities, including traditional chess matches, chess puzzles, trivia, and unique mini-games that reward strategy, critical thinking, and sportsmanship. To help schools prepare, registered teams will receive a collection of age-appropriate chess lessons and activities that can be used throughout the school year in classrooms, after-school clubs, or enrichment programs. These ready-to-use resources make it easy for educators with little or no chess experience to introduce the game and build students' confidence, culminating in a fun and rewarding Chess Challenge event.
