CHESS BY THE SLICE 

3rd -8th grade

Tuition: $85 

Instructor: Bobby Howard  (aka Coach Bobby) 

Chess, when taught properly, can greatly improve a child's problem-solving skills, concentration, confidence, and critical thinking. Chess By The Slice teaches fundamentals of this wonderful game of strategy, but doesn’t stop there. We go beyond the basic knowledge of “Piece Mover” as children learn how to play and think like a “Chess Player” in a fun and engaging way. Curriculum based; CBTS was developed with children in mind. Age-appropriate teaching techniques, such as “differentials” and “scaffolding,” allows children to learn and grow in a fun environment and… at their own pace. With a focus on character development, CBTS emphasizes the importance of respect and sportsmanship during competition. This session of Cardinal U, we will learn/review the rules of chess, explore the principles of the “Opening” and play against our classmates. The goal is simple… have fun and learn along the way. And… Each child will receive a portable chess set!

Class minimum: 6   Class maximum: 20 

Board Games of the Ancient World

4th-8th grades

Tuition: $100

Instructor: Mr. Horn

For the next month we will learn about and play board games from the ancient world. Some of these games are around 5000 years old and a few would have existed during the lifetime of our Lord, Jesus Christ himself. Who knows, maybe He even played some of them. My goal is to create an environment where the students can come together competitively, but where the focus is not winning and instead about having fun and getting to know each other better. Students will be learning strategy, probability, and history. Students will also receive their own copies of the game boards and pieces to take home and share with family and friends. Please send your child with a snack.

Class Minimum: 10 Class Maximum: 20
