Nowadays, most children encounter chess through video games on their tablets or smartphones. This is a shame as to imagine life in the three-dimensional battle of chess helped me to realise the influence of chess pieces. Also the tactile nature of the chess-pieces was part of the enjoyment and the advice to "sit on your hands" before making a move was a wise check against impulse. Kids do enjoy knight puzzles. Try setting up a pawn capture with their knight. As they got better at it, increase the number of moves that it will take the knight to capture the pawn.

Kids enjoy learning two mate with the rooks. Give them also simple two move mate and 1 mate problems. Let them solve easy fork and pin tactics.

Why is chess so good for children?

As they got better, you must have good tactical materials appropriate for them I suggest you look at books like Tactics Time or World Champions Guide to Chess by Polgar. Also thanks for all the great suggestions guys. The few pieces games work quite well, eventho the kids always are against it at first because they want to play the real game. Ive noticed, as always, with kids its mostly about the way I engange them rather than the actual task.
