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.

My grandson has asked in the past how to play chess. This would be a great way for him to learn how!
That is so cool!! Even as an adult, learning chess can be a valuable skill. I’ll have to check out the app!
I hadn’t heard of this app. I’ve really enjoyed chess over the years but haven’t played in a little while. I need to get the chess board out.
I love this, this will be fun to learn with my Grandchildren. I don’t know how to play Chess either. Myhusband loves to play with my Daughter. Thanks for sharing this great app.
Chess is such a good activity for kids!! Mine learned to play in 2nd grade.
I remember learning chess as a young girl and playing with my Mom. It’s such a great game to learn and I am going to have to look into this for my kids.
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 ?
