Join the World Chess Hall of Fame & Galleries, Saint Louis’s premier cultural destination, for a crafty hands-on workshop. This interactive program is a highlight of the local calendar and a fun way to experience chess education through creative play and sports-themed design.

The Program: Make a Felt Pennant

Design Your Own Custom Sports Keepsake

Get ready to cheer in style with a one-of-a-kind pennant you create yourself! Inspired by our exhibition, Game Plan: The Strategy of Chess & Sports, you’ll design and decorate your very own felt pennant. Will you represent your favorite team or show off your personal flair? Add your name, pick your colors, and go wild with embellishments to make a truly unique keepsake.

We’ll provide all the supplies and some tasty refreshments to fuel your creativity. Come craft with us and get your cheer on!

All supplies for this activity are included, and no chess experience is needed to join in!

The program has a $10 entry fee, but is FREE for World Chess Hall of Fame & Galleries Members! Learn more about becoming a member.

The Exhibition: Game Plan: The Strategy of Chess & Sports

The Intersection of Strategy and Culture

This fun program is offered in connection with our current interactive exhibition, Game Plan: The Strategy of Chess & Sports. This exhibition explores the intersection of strategy, competition, and history. This event promotes chess education by demonstrating how the visual language of sports—such as team pennants—reflects the same strategic identity and pride found in chess.
