Through Storytelling & Strategic Play
Chess Club | Serving Chikusa-Ku, Nagoya
Where Strategy Meets Adventure
This fun, interactive approach helps kids naturally grasp the rules and strategies while also building important skills like:
Critical Thinking
Language & Vocabulary
Mathematics
Sportsmanship
Playing Chess Builds Social-Emotional Skills
Learning chess at an early age strengthens critical social-emotional skills. Children develop patience, improve focus, and learn how to handle wins and losses gracefully. As they plan strategies and navigate challenges, they build confidence, resilience, and collaboration—skills that extend far beyond the chessboard.

"I recommend Playpourri and Rowena to foreigners and Japanese!!!"
All the teachers were warm and welcoming but as a mum I especially appreciated the lesson planning, money well spent! I recommend Playpourri and Rowena to foreigners and Japanese alike. Second to none, thank you so much Rowena and team for making our time there so wonderful. The kids and I keep track through f/b, love the fun food snacks.
