Rainbow Elementary offers many opportunities for all students Kindergarten - Fifth grade to enjoy Chess! Our Kindergarten Chess Club introduces the game with Learn to Play classes. As this group develops it transitons into a competive team by year end. We have three leveled competitive teams: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced. For our non-competitive students we offer a Recreational Chess Club for Grades 1-5. Most kids start off playing recreational chess for one year before trying Beginning Competition Chess.

Rainbow Recreation Chess Club and Competition Chess Teams are moving to online meetings in April. We are so lucky to have free gold accounts on ChessKid that enable us to play Fast Chess games for fun or join a club tournament to play chess with our friends.
