- Board setup
- Names of the pieces
- Rook moves
New concepts to learn:
- Rook can capture a piece
- Rook captures in straight line
- After rook captures it stays on the square of the piece it took
Game prep:
- together we setup the board
- repeated names of the pieces
- talked about original rook position on the board
- removed all the pieces and moved rook in straight lines all over the board
- showed her that the rook can "eat" the piece by occupying its place
Game:
Placed a rook of her choice on the board. Placed all the pieces of opposite color except the king all over the board. The rook "eats" the piece -> piece goes outside the board -> the rook takes the place of the piece it "ate". Sometimes I would count all the pieces the Rook "are". It was fun! :)
