Hello,
can you guys recommend Life and Death training literature I can playfully use with my daughter?
She is 6 years old, just discovered the game and has a lot of fun… until I put a stone in her territory on which point she gets mad 
I want to create a few easy problems for her to solve and maybe get some input how to further motivate her for the game.
Best regards,
Nope
Welcome to the OGS forum!
How about simple life/death/undecided problems? I believe the groups on this “status game” could make some great problems for a young child https://status.antontobi.com/
Does she understand the concept of life and death or two eyes already?
I believe key is only doing what she really wants to do.
It’s so easy doing what you think she might want to do, while actually doing something she doesn’t really like.
And in next to no time Go is something she dislikes for the rest of her life.
I’m speaking from experience. 
I’ve always liked this collection
Cho Chikun’s Encyclopedia of Life and Death
it starts out very basic / fundamental and it would be pretty to lay these out on a physical board and explain the 2-eyes concept, etc
I would recommend you school books aimed at children from China or Japan which have very good and extensive collections of tsumego. Nothing really similar in English sadly.
I’ve been doing the “Basics” series from the EasyGo app with my kids (slightly younger than yours). They are really simple and they enjoy the problem solving 
I put the problems on a real board, since they seem to like the tactile aspect.
Side note: learn to lose without being noticed. And a lot of time.
Story telling are cool activity (like the mythology of ranka. or proverbs).
Maybe it could be an opportunity to develop some go activities with her school teacher? I mean it’s hard to keep interest without opponents.
I think it will become fun for her when she puts a stone in your territory (and kills a group). So explain dead shapes to her and create one for her, that she can kill.
(And then you can throw a little tantrum 
)
You could try Cho U’s 4x4 go puzzles.
There’s a bit too much reading (text) in the story mode honestly, but you can skip through it and do all the puzzles, or one can separately do the puzzles.
It’s an app and it’s kind of themed with cats and dogs. There’s also options to switch the stones theme.
A nephew of someone I used to know that got really into it, solving puzzles surprisingly easy actually, once they got the jist of it. Also they were probably like 6 or 7 at the time.
Then theres recently another app
I recall checking out a website a couple of years ago which was aimed at playing go for children on a 9x9 board. The stones had happy / sad / scared faces depending on the situation. Very cute! I have tried to find it but so far without success. Was it a link shared here on the OGS-forum perhaps?
I recently played a game at a tournament against Lucas, a 10 year old. Lucas told me about an app. If I’m not mistaken it;’s this one: “legend of Baduk”
Maybe
I think the style might be inspired by some Japanese artist
Nice, but not what I meant.
That’s it. Thanks!
I used to follow Tororo2048 on Twitter / X but I closed my account (for obvious reasons). On Bluesky that particular Tororo doesn’t seem to be active (yet).
Actually I think there is too much screen time, especially for a 6 yrs old so I strongly disagree to go find some replacement for OTB-face to face or paper books activities.
Well my own opinion.
Actually, OGS and the AGF teamed up to make kidsgoserver.com and it is now fully functional. Someone linked to an old beta, but the full site is up at the link. We also offer first capture, which is often easier for six year olds to understand. If she is playing actual Go, there are 100 simple go problems for kids in section 8. If she is unclear on the rules, the animated lessons explain everything clearly. She can also play bots and other kids on the server.
Thank you very much for the great tipps, I will try some of them
Based on the title, this thread would be of a totally different topic if posted in a different forum.
