Board games and animal kings
Checkmate, Check and Chess / Club head a chess poster; King / Me is for checkers, where a piece that reaches the far row is crowned a king. King of / the Court suits a gym game. King / Penguin, King / Cobra, King / Crab, Kingfisher, King / Tide and King of / the Jungle label a science wall.
- The king penguin is the second largest penguin and the king cobra the longest venomous snake; a king tide is an especially high tide.
- One letter per page, under More options, prints King as four upright sheets; typed in capitals, KING has no ring to fill.
- Gold, under Look, prints Prom / King and Birthday / King in gold letters that need no coloring.
Questions and answers
How do you draw king in bubble letters?
Pencil K, i, n, g with wide gaps. Round every stroke into a fat outline, float the dot over the i, keep a ring inside the g and let its tail hang below the line, then rub out the pencil and color.
Can I put a name under King?
Yes. Click after King in the box, press Enter and type the name: it prints on a second line. A sheet holds 40 characters, and two lines print smaller than King alone.
What does checkmate mean?
The king is in check, under attack, with no possible escape, and that wins the game. The word is traced to the Persian shāh māt, translated as the king is helpless or the king is dead.
