Abstract

We present some idea on how to introduce the study of propositional logic in primary and secondary schools in an appealing way. In particular we encourage the use of logic puzzles and provide several examples of translating Smullyan's logic puzzles of his wonderful book ``Alice in puzzle-land'' into propositional logic and then use algebra to solve the puzzles. We highlight several strong points of this approach.
