In the Brownies Making Games Badge and Chess Patch program
girls will learn about the history of chess including its origins
how old the game is and the medieval histories of the pieces through
storytelling After they learn about the history girls will use their
imaginations to re-write the history of the pieces promoting
equality and non-discrimination by envisioning roles in which
soldiers can attain status without bias They will also learn the
movements names and values of the pieces and how to read the
chessboard Chess is an incredible way to teach critical thinking and
life skills. No prior chess experience is needed, and no chessboards
are required since activities will be conducted using a virtual
chessboard. At the end of this chess journey, each girl will earn
her Brownies Making Games badge - which can be purchased from the
Girl Scout Shop - and a chess patch with a knight charm, which will
be mailed to her home. Most importantly, she will feel empowered
with a greater understanding of this ancient game.
