And now it's the king's turn. It was great fun to get to know the king. I explained to the children that the king has a big belly and that's why he can move in any direction but he can only move one square. Then we took our places with the chessboard and crowns we prepared. We moved according to the crown on our heads.

Together with the children, we explored the figure of the king using dramatization as a teaching method. The children immersed themselves in the role of the king and, acting like true rulers, gave commands to the other children. Special emphasis was placed on learning English, as the commands were given in English. The activity was further enriched through creative work – the children made crowns and scepters on their own, which contributed to the development of their imagination and their understanding of the symbolism of the king in chess.

The children got acquainted with the main chess piece – the King. They learned what it looks like, how it moves around the board and why it is the king that needs to be protected the most.

To better remember this piece, each child created their own king from a construction set.

This creative activity helped the children not only remember the piece, but also developed their imagination, fine motor skills and interest in playing chess.
