Some students will be familiar with a game called Yahtzee. This activity involves a variety of game structures that will teach students the concepts of formal logic, which is founded on the concepts of AND, OR and NOT. Using a simple roll of the dice, students are asked whether they got a “good roll” based on the conditions they were looking for.

Simple Dotsy: Give each student a card (or set of cards) with a set of conditions on it. Roll the virtual dice at this link and ask them to keep track of which cards had their conditions met by the roll. https://www.scienceoftech.net/Dotsy/DotsyDL.html
