 There are close links between games and teaching. Writers throughout the medieval period talk of dialogues as a way of ‘teaching’ or ‘testing’ the use of sound reasoning. We have at least two textbooks of logic from the early sixteenth century that present it as a game for an individual student, and Lewis Carroll’s The Game of Logic (1887) is another example in the same genre. There are plenty of modern examples too, though probably there has not been enough continuity to justify talking of a tradition of teaching logic by games.
