Jason taught his daughters Chess this weekend.
He is incredibly patient.
Incredibly kind.
And an incredibly good teacher.
They played for quite some time (considering their young ages).
Games (real games) teach children so many things about interaction.
About how to win….. and how to lose.
And how to know the difference.
There are two lasting bequests we can give our children. One is roots. The other is wings. ~Hodding Carter, Jr.

I am 31 and have no idea how that game works.
Dad is awesome.
Who cares if they don’t get it…or do…it’s about the time they spend together 😉

Awesome. Most people have to teach someone how to play so they will have someone to play with. LOL!
I am sure they will be a challenge to play for him!

Your post brought back memories … my father taught me to play chess when I was 10 years old. Lovely interpretation of this week’s photo challenge theme!

These are great pictures. I can’t wait until The Girl is old enough to start teaching her chess.
