Mental Arithmetic Resources?

I'm looking for some ideas to help a younger family member with their mental arithmetic / maths. I managed to get a secondhand Nintendo DS with Maths Trainer on it which is great and she enjoys it. I wondered if others had found any other resources useful that they could recommend? Phone/tablet apps are an option but there are so many other distractions on these hence why the DS was a worthy investment.

A dart board?

Great for addition, subtraction and multiplication.

Create a budget and enlist help! The practice gets hidden in the 'accounting' and makes the person feel involved rather than forced 'sums'.
