Taught #1 to play cribbage last night (she's in 2nd grade now). She was winning for a while, after ridiculous beginners luck--she pegged a run on her first hand during the play ending with 31, when she didn't even know how to play. She had a run of four, A-2-3-4, and a ten was cut yielding an 8 point show for her.
I did throw away a pair into her crib once to allow me to keep a flush, so I could show her what a flush looks like. But there weren't many point I gave her like that, she was really winning. Until I got my double double run, 4-4-5-6-6, for 24.
I ended up one point short of skunking her, 120 to 91.
She kept saying "this game is like math," and I think Tetukas' advice was very good, that it will teach her to add faster, at least up to 31.

If you can add to 31 quickly, you can add anything quickly.
Also, good training for spotting patterns.
