Four-year old Tom (R) and his six-year old sister Lisa from Offenbach show Serbian refugee Dragan (2nd L) and his sister Tamara (L) how to play on the climbing frame at a refugee camp in Hanau, Germany, August 18, 2015. Tom and Lisa learned from her mother that a lot of refugees come to Germany and most of them, especially the children, don't have much clothes or toys to play with.

Children play chess at a classroom in the Dezso Lemhenyi school, which uses the new Chess Palace teaching programme of the world's best female chess player Judit Polgar, in Budapest October 15, 2013. With names like Jumpy Horse, Boom Rook and Tiny Pawn, pieces in the Chess Palace come to life and are like close friends who guide the children through difficult school subjects. They range in size from 1 cm (under half an inch) tall to a meter (three feet) in height. Chairs, walls and carpets also sport chess motifs. The pieces, whose combinations and moves represent mathematical, linguistic or musical patterns, help children develop their skills in chess and in their school studies while making the learning process a more joyous exercise.

A teacher leads a singing session during a specialized class preparing toddlers for kindergarten interviews in Hong Kong, China May 17, 2015. Parents believe that getting a place in a good kindergarten will help them secure a spot in a good primary and secondary school and pave the way for a good start in life. With the competition being so fierce, sought-after kindergartens can be selective about who they let in. Pre-kindergarten interview courses train them to be disciplined, responsive and polite through games, music and dance. They also offer one-on-one mock interview sessions. Picture taken May 17, 2015.
