Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a wise ruler called Raja. He lived in India, a place that often faced battles. One evening, Raja was in his garden with his trusted advisor, the vizier. They were talking about an upcoming battle.
Raja noticed something interesting. “What are these colorful figures? Why are they lined up like soldiers?” he asked the vizier.
The vizier smiled and said, “This is a special game, Raja. It’s not just for fun. It helps you think smart, plan battles, and do brave things. But remember, you need to have good intentions and a sharp mind. This way, your army will be strong.”
Raja was curious. “Will it always be like this?” he asked.
“Yes, Raja,” the vizier replied. “This game is called chess. It mixes science, art, and sports. If you become good at it, you will be unbeatable.”
Raja was amazed. “Is everything you said true?”
“People have played chess for over a thousand years and still love it. Let’s find out more about it. Kids Academy has a chess class; let’s go there!”
“Where is the chess class?” Raja wondered. “The academy is so big, we might get lost!”
The vizier suggested, “Let’s check the art studio because chess is like art. We should also visit the gym because chess is like a sport. It’s not just about being strong; you need to be smart too. Let’s look in the science rooms because chess requires wit, will, and imagination. Follow me!”
They arrived at the class and asked, “What is chess? Is it a sport or art? Why do both kids and adults love it? What’s its secret?”
The teacher welcomed them, “Come inside! At Kids Academy, you’ll learn a lot about chess. It takes patience and a quick mind.”
“We are ready to learn!” Raja and the vizier said excitedly.
In the next lesson, we’ll learn the basics of chess, explore the board where the battles happen, and meet the chess pieces. We’ll also find out why the game is called chess and what ‘checkmate’ means. Stay tuned!

Create Your Own Chess Pieces: Gather some materials like clay, paper, or cardboard. Create your own chess pieces by molding or drawing them. Think about what each piece represents and how it moves on the board. Once you’ve created your pieces, try setting them up on a homemade chessboard and play a simple game with a friend or family member. This will help you understand the roles and movements of each piece better.
Chess in Everyday Life: Observe situations in your daily life where you need to plan or think ahead, just like in chess. For example, when you decide what to wear based on the weather or when you plan your day. Discuss with your parents or teachers how these situations are similar to planning your moves in a chess game. This will help you see the importance of strategy and planning in real life.

Welcome to Kids Academy!
This story took place a long time ago, in a time when India faced frequent attacks from enemies. One evening, the ruler of the country, known as Raja, was sitting in the garden with his vizier. Raja was contemplating an upcoming battle.
“What are these amazing figures? Why are they different colors? Why have they formed ranks?” Raja asked.
“Have you come up with a new pastime, Vizier?”
“It’s a fascinating game, Master, but it’s not just for fun. It will teach you how to strategize, win battles, and perform heroic deeds. Just remember, your intentions must be pure and your thoughts sharp. This way, your army will become strong.”
“Will it always be like this?” Raja inquired.
“It will always be like this, Master. We’ll call this game chess. It combines the power of science, art, and sports. The one who masters it becomes invincible.”
“Chess seems to be an amazing game. Is everything the wise vizier told us really true?”
“People have been playing chess for more than a thousand years, and they never tire of it, so it must be true. We should explore it ourselves. Kids Academy has a chess class; let’s go there!”
