Castle your king with the rook to get into a safer position! Write 0-0 for a two-square move, or 0-0-0 for a three-square move. Look at the worksheet with your child; on the first chessboard, the king has moved two squares and the rook is beside it. On the second, the rook has jumped over the king. Let your child use their castling knowledge to answer the questions in the easy pdf.
Pawns are the first to attack in chess and each player has the most pieces. They can't jump over other pieces, so if there's an obstacle, the pawn can't move. Ask your child to put an X to show all possible moves for the pawns not blocked by other pieces. (80)
