FIDE announced 2026 as the Year of Chess in Education, so let’s prepare.

We are inviting chess educators from around the world to help us build a free, open-access resource bank of fun and engaging Chess in Education classroom activities.

Our goal is to collect practical, ready-to-use activity ideas that teachers can instantly apply in their lessons. These are not lesson plans, just short, simple, tried-and-tested activities that work.

If you have an activity your students love and it works well in real classrooms, we want to hear about it!

Your contribution, big or small, can make a difference to hundreds of classrooms. By sharing your ideas, you are helping educators worldwide with more tools to make chess fun and meaningful for children. Your experience and creativity can inspire educators around the world and reach teachers and students in diverse settings, including schools with limited resources.
