Magnus Kingdom Chess App Supports Learning the Basics of Chess

This post is made possible by support from the Play Magnus campaign. All opinions are my own.

Did you know that The World Chess Championship is happening right now?  It is definitely an exciting time for chess aficionados and a great time for newbies to learn an new game. Magnus Carlson is the current world chess champion.  He and a group of Grand Masters and Play Magnus chess experts teamed up to create the Magnus Kingdom app for children.

To celebrate,  Magnus Kingdom app is being offered at a 50% off discount.   I always admired children who do well with chess.  As an educator, I know the many benefits that chess offers.  We have had the opportunity to have a few chess lessons in my classroom and kids of all levels love the strategies they are learning.

Improving attention span and concentration are two key reasons why chess is great for children of all ages.  Chess promotes critical thinking and use of strategy which I find are skills that children need.  My daughter has been interested in chess and has taken a few lessons at school.

This is why I thought the Magnus Kingdom app would be perfect to learn the basics of chess and it is an easy way to learn on-the-go. There are a variety of levels and you can even activate arrows to support younger players with next steps.

Magnus Kingdom provides kids (5 years and up) with a fun way to learn the basics of chess.

“With this new game, we hope that more kids will discover the fun in playing chess, and through chess, develop lifelong skills like problem-solving and critical thinking that will help them perform better in school, while also improving their self-esteem.”

The app has been discounted by 50% during the World Chess Championship. This is a limited time offer that likely won’t be repeated.

Here is the link to purchase –  ‪https://magnuskingdom.app.link‪

Available on iOS and Android.

You can follow Play Magnus on social media for up to date information:

I think this app would be the perfect addition to your app collection!

    I had to pin this! I love playing games! I have always wanted to learn to play chess. I don’t know why, but I never picked it up. Usually games come to me really easy?! I am going to try this and if and when I learn, I am going to let this app teach the grandkids that want to learn so I have someone to play with ?

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
