Logic Dogs #1: A Quick Game

Here’s a simple game you can play to test some of your Logic Dogs vocabulary words. If you haven’t watched Logic Dogs #1, you can watch it now:

  • For small breeds (younger kids)
  • For medium breeds (older kids)

 

In following statements, roll your mouse over the antecedent.

1. If Theodore’s toy rolls under the couch, then Theodore will bark.

2. If it is not raining, then Theodore will take an evening walk outside.

3. If Theodore’s person comes home for lunch, then Theodore will play ball in the hall.

 

Now, let’s try another vocabulary word. In the following statements, roll your mouse over the consequent.

1. If Theodore does a trick, then Theodore will get a treat.

2. If Bella comes over, then Theodore will bark his happy barks.

3. If Bella is sleepy, then Bella will sleep under a blanket.

 

Now, let’s see if you can spot Modus Ponens. Remember that Modus Ponens affirms the antecedent. Which of these three arguments ends with telling us that the antecedent is true so the consequent must also be true?

1. If Theodore’s toy rolls under the couch, then Theodore barks. Theodore’s toy rolled under the couch. Therefore, Theodore barks.

 

2. If you show Theodore a treat, then Theodore sits. You show Theodore a treat. Therefore, Theodore sits.

 

3. If you show Theodore a treat, then Theodore sits. Theodore did not sit. Therefore, you did not show Theodore a treat.

 

 

And finally, let’s see if you can spot Modus Tollens. Remember that Modus Tollens denies the consequent. Which of these three arguments ends with telling us that the consequent is didn’t happen, so the antecedent must not have happened either?

1. If Theodore’s toy rolls under the couch, then Theodore barks. Theodore did not bark. Therefore, Theodore’s toy did not roll under the couch.

 

2. If you show Theodore a treat, then Theodore sits. You do not show Theodore a treat.

 

3. If you show Theodore a treat, then Theodore sits. Theodore did not sit. Therefore, you did not show Theodore a treat.

 

How did you do? I bet you did great! Thanks for playing!
