Games such as giant chess combine intellectual stimulation with a manipulable play environment. Chess pieces can be brought out during recess, lunchtime, or outdoor learning periods, and then stored away when supervision isn’t available. When not being used as a chess board, the painted ground surface can double as a space for other imaginative play and games.
