checkers is a high quality strategy game!
I think so!  I find it challenging and it's a friendly game to play.
strategy games help improves mind function
That's true.  I find the history of checkers fascinating.  It's also called "draughts" which comes from a verb meaning draw or move
its definetely a great game for anyone of any age
Yes. Most learn as children and it's almost always learned before learning chess.
kids should also learn how to do every day things like laundry 
Maybe playing checkers could be a reward for doing chores.  A computer became the Checkers World Champion for the first time in 1994.  I bet IT didn't do laundry!
stimuli for the brain is a good thing
Scientists "solved" checkers in 2007.  When played perfectly by both sides, it will always end in a draw.  That should stimulate your brain!
