Story Time Chess is a board game that teaches chess to young children using silly stories, vibrant illustrations, custom chess pieces, and a unique chess board. The stories and supporting materials communicate the rules of chess to children ages 3 and up in a way that makes learning chess simple and fun. Best of all, no chess experience is required for parents or children to learn.
A game developed over numerous years teaching children how to play chess. For use at home to children as young as three!
Stories are an incredibly powerful educational tool. Children have an astounding ability to retain stories down to the last detail. Telling a child an abstract rule may only confuse them because they have nothing to connect with. Instead of telling children what something is, Story Time Chess is perfect for showing the rules of chess – through stories.
-Exercises for each piece:
Each chess piece has its own story and exercises that explain how the piece moves in a fun, silly, memorable way.
-Matching Pieces and Board
The board has characters that match the pieces, making board setup easy!
-Custom Chess Pieces
With our custom chess pieces, the children are able to connect the stories to the pieces more easily. By visually seeing the characters and physically touching the pieces, children are able to learn chess without realizing it.
Each piece is designed to hold the character from their story in order to communicate the rules of chess effectively–and have fun!
-Double Sided Chess Board
Our double sided chess board and custom chess pieces are made from high quality, child friendly materials and are regulation size for tournament play. Players can either use the story themed side with all of our characters, or the standard chess side for regular chess.
-Cloth Storage Bag for Pieces
Brightly colored storage bags for your Team Chomper and Team Shaky pieces.
Our sticker came poorly cut with some of the names on the left hand side cut off. I messaged customer service and never received a reply.

Hi Gabrielle,
Thank you so much for your order. I am sorry the cut was wrong on your map sticker. It is very rare for this to happen but it can happen during printing. Can you please let me know your order number and address and we will send you a new one today.
Great idea concept and fit well but the material feels cheap like nylon, I don’t like the feel of them for sleeping.
Better thread cotton would have me giving 5 stars.
Hello Michelle - thank you for your feedback and we are sorry that you do not like the feel of these sheets - this is a first for us as all our customers love the soft feel of the cotton sateen...
