Chippy TechnologiesFor schools and clubs
A school draughts programme your teachers can run
Children learn international 10×10 draughts in Chippy's free app. With a club or school licence, teachers and coaches add a class with a join code, homework puzzles, class games and live progress for every child.
What your school can use today
All of this is in Chippy's Draughts Learning App now. The class tools need a club or school licence; everything for children stays free.
Children join with a code
The teacher creates a class and gets a six-letter code. Children type the code and a first name or nickname: no accounts, no email addresses and no chat.
Live progress for every child
Chapters, stars, badges, streaks and puzzle level, updated as the children play. Sort the class by this week, most improved or steady practice, not only by all-time points.
Homework puzzles
Choose a puzzle level and how many puzzles, set a due date, then see who solved each puzzle first time.
Class games
Children challenge classmates and play move by move on their own phones, with optional clocks, draw offers, printable game records and PDN downloads.
Certificate qualifications
See which children qualified for a printed certificate, with a reference code, and send the TTDCA a ready-made request.
Screens from a demonstration class with made-up names. Children can use the app in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese or Dutch.
