Playing Chess

I offered to play a board game with Ella after dinner.  She asked “what’s a board game?” (even though we’ve played a number of them before).  I gave examples like Candyland or Chutes and Ladders.  She wanted to play Chess.

As we pulled out the game board, we were missing a pawn (due to the kids pulling out all the pieces weeks before).  We had to improvise.

 

Despite our missing piece, we had a good time.  She really got the hang of how all the pieces move…
