EdFlik Summer Camp UAE — Ages 7–9: Chess, Money & Art This Summer
Your Child's Best Summer Starts Here: EdFlik Online Summer Camp for Kids 7–9 in the UAE
Summer is the season every child dreams of — and the opportunity every parent wants to use wisely. What if your 7, 8, or 9-year-old could spend two weeks learning chess, discovering how money works, and creating their own art — all live, online, with expert teachers, from the comfort of home?
That is exactly what EdFlik's Online Summer Camp 2026 offers children aged 7 to 9 across the UAE.
What Is EdFlik's Summer Camp for Ages 7–9?
EdFlik is a live online learning program built specifically for children, designed around one core belief: every child should leave each session having made something, said something, or solved something.
For children aged 7 to 9, the 2026 Summer Camp runs across 2 weeks, 10 teaching days, and 15 total hours of structured, interactive learning — 90 minutes every day, live on Zoom.
The program covers three carefully chosen subjects:
- Chess — Logical thinking, strategy, and patience
- Financial Literacy — Real-world money concepts made fun and relatable
- Art & Craft — Creative confidence and self-expression (every Friday)
Why These Three Subjects for 7 to 9 Year Olds?
Chess: The Game That Teaches Children to Think Ahead
Chess is not just a board game — it is one of the most researched tools for developing cognitive skills in young children. At EdFlik, children do not simply learn the moves. They are introduced to the royal court — the king, queen, knights, and pawns — through storytelling and imagination.
Over the two weeks, children progress from naming each piece to understanding check, checkmate, defensive thinking, forks, pins, and basic endgame strategy. Each day ends with a live challenge — a puzzle, a timed move, or a peer competition — that makes the learning stick.
What children will learn:
- How each chess piece moves and why it matters
- The difference between attacking and defending
- How to think 2–3 moves ahead
- Endgame basics: king and rook positioning
Financial Literacy: Because Money Skills Begin at Age 7
Most adults wish someone had taught them about money earlier. EdFlik introduces children aged 7–9 to financial concepts through games, activities, and real-world decisions — not textbook theory.
Children learn the difference between needs and wants through live class votes. They design their own mini-businesses, build budget planners, and discover what trade-offs mean in everyday life. By the final session, every child has created a vision board and delivered a 30-second pitch of their business idea.
What children will learn:
- Why money exists and how it works
- Needs vs wants — and how to tell the difference
- How to budget: income, spending, and saving
- The concept of trade-offs in financial decisions
- How to design and pitch a simple business idea
Art & Craft: Every Friday Is Creation Day
Art is not an extra — it is a core part of how children process and express what they have learned. Every Friday at EdFlik becomes Art Day. Children create chess-themed artwork, illustrate their business ideas as comics or posters, and build visual portfolios that they are proud to show.
The Friday Gallery Walk — where every child presents their creation on camera — is one of the most celebrated moments of the entire two weeks.
How a Typical Day Looks (Monday to Thursday)
| Time | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Min 0–5 | Welcome, energy-building warm-up |
| Min 5–40 | Chess lesson (35 minutes of live teaching + challenges) |
| Min 40–45 | Bridge: recap + quick poll |
| Min 45–80 | Financial Literacy lesson (35 minutes) |
| Min 80–90 | Revision, rapid-fire Q&A, daily celebration |
Every session is designed so that no child lectures for more than 8 minutes without a student interaction moment. At EdFlik, questions, polls, and challenges are built into every transition.
What Makes EdFlik Different From Other Online Camps?
1. The Magic Moment is non-negotiable. Every session has a peak engagement activity — a live puzzle, a class vote, a showcase — that creates a memory. EdFlik teachers are explicitly trained never to skip this, even if time is short.
2. Every child is seen. If a child has not spoken within 20 minutes, the Host personally messages them and creates a low-stakes moment for them to participate. No child is invisible at EdFlik.
3. Children make things, not just watch. By the end of the two weeks, your child will have created a paper chess board, a piggy bank, a budget planner booklet, a business poster, and a vision board — physical proof of real learning.
4. The Friday Certificate Ceremony is memorable. Every Friday, each student is called by their full name. Their teacher shares a personal growth note. They graduate as an EdFlik Creator. It is ceremonial by design — because children deserve to be celebrated.
