Any suggestions for formal logic curriculm?

Either a written curriculum or computer program. Something that relies heavily on visual supports/symbols would be especially useful.

We are looking at starting to build a foundation for computer programming in the upcoming year or so, and dh said that formal logic was extremely helpful for him (at the college level), but I don't know if there is any kid-friendly formal logic stuff out there.

You could look at Wff'n Proof, a game of propositional logic. I think it would be ideal. My dad taught formal logic (and informal logic / critical thinking) as a philosophy prof back in the 1960's-80's, and he owned the original version of this game. The game can become very complex, with challenge intended for older teens and adults, but the updated rulebook includes beginning exercises suitable for even quite young children.

Thank you so much for posting that. There are a bunch of awesome learning games on that site, especially the logic one. I wish I had the funds to buy the entire collection.
