Playing chess – ELGs

Two boys are playing a game with a set of chess pieces. Ranvir - the boy on the left - has devised the game.

Good for looking at

• Social development
• Self-regulation
• Creativity
• Understanding the world
• Games with rules

The children are playing a game that has been devised by the player on the left – Ranvir.

Notice

• how both children manage themselves within the game
• how the adult interacts with them
• how the practice and provision underpin the goals for PSED

Reflect

Refer back to the ELGs for Personal, Social and Emotional Development

• Each of the boys is within the ELGs. How do you know?
• How does the environment support the children to demonstrate their skills?
• What has the adult in the clip enabled?
• Which other Early Learning Goals are being demonstrated here?
