Being Chess!
Saturday, January 14, 2006

Chess master Jennifer Shahade co-teaches this workshop introducing families to the game of chess. Participants will explore key elements of the game (the pieces, the board, strategic moves), have an opportunity to investigate a chess piece in the exhibition through a drawing activity and finally, engage in a movement-based activity in which they “become” the chess pieces in a game “played” by Shahade. Reservations are required.
