Sounds like a great game; I have "games" during my 6yo's bathtime. These games have now evolved to multiplying numbers by four (or three, two), subtraction and addition of 2-digit numbers, etc. Also a few word games (Rhymes, etc)

Since it's in the bath, no paper and pencils are used, but it's good fun for him.
