Chess
We have introduced chess to Tautoru and it is a hit! It has been fantastic to see a number of students share their knowledge and strategies with others along with building resilience when the game doesn't quite go as planned.
Chess sparks creativity and increases problem-solving skills. A chess match requires fast thinking and problem solving on the fly and we are seeing this in the students. We are still working on understanding the rules as there appears to be some creative moves on the board.
Pop into Tautoru and get your chess on!
