Riddle:
I never was, am always to be,
None ever saw me, nor ever will,
And yet I am the confidence of all
Who live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.

Math poker...

Get a deck of cards. Shuffle it, and go through it one by one, doing mental math:

Spades= addition
Clubs= subtraction
hearts= multiplication
diamonds= division

Jacks = 11
Queens= 12
Kings= 13
Aces = 1

So if I pulled the 5 of spades, then the next card was the ten of hearts, I would say in my head "5 times 10 equals 50". If I next pulled a 7 of clubs, I would in my head say "50 minus 7 equals 43". Keep going, even if it requires decimals. Don't write this down unless you are totally stuck. Do as much purely in your head as possible.
