The Rook Pack

Straight up, straight down, straight across, the rook is the easiest piece to understand and one of the strongest on the board. At 5 points, it outranks a knight or bishop, and kids find that out for themselves in this pack.

Inside, kids learn how the rook moves along ranks and files, what it's worth, and how it compares to every other piece. Then they practise with fill-in-the-blank facts (word bank included), board puzzles marking every square a rook can reach, capture challenges, yes/no move checks, a five-question quiz, and a "My Rook" colouring page to finish.
