For Bridge Teachers

Dear Fellow Bridge Teachers,

Welcome to my Bridge Lesson site. You have my permission to use any of my materials in your Bridge classes, just credit me. My previous site had forums but I have removed those for lack of use by any but spammers. I will publish some of the useful posts from the old site someday soon. You are welcome to leave comments on this page if you want to discuss teaching bridge.

My most recent thoughts on teaching bridge can be found in various posts on this site including the one called “Teaching adult beginners.”

Materials and Lesson plans for teaching Bridge to children, also known as the Schools Bridge Lesson Program, are in the various Download areas for teachers. These are free and you do not need to sign up. The ACBL has the most current manual for teaching kids on their site.

You can contact me to get pre-analyzed Hands for a Schools Competition. I have two sets of 12 pre-analyzed hands which we used in our competitions. Most were originally played in a Novice game at a regional or in the Culbertson Bridge club in NYC, first by the regular game then in the novice game. The matchpoints are included in the brief write-up.

Finally the ACBL Education foundation sponsors bridge classes in the schools. Click here for more information from the ACBL.

Regards, Kitty

    Majid -
    Well welcome back to a wonderful game, sorry not to have responded sooner but I was travelling and mainly offline.

    The scoring has changed a bit since 1979 as has the style of bidding. I think that the introduction to bridge at the Bridge World site may have the answers to your questions in the mechanics and scoring sections:
    http://bridgeworld.com/default.asp?d=intro_to_bridge&f=introtobridgemainpage.html

    The bidding summaries on my own site here are very basic and for beginners. See my book section on this site for more ideas.

    You may also enjoy playing online with real people at the BBO site which also has instructional materials – http://www.bridgebase.com/

    Let me know if you still have questions.
    - Kitty
