Cards are always fun to add to the learning experience- Another favourite of mine is the dominoes

Another interesting one is Salute- played in group of threes: Two players select one card each without looking at it-place the card at forehead(as if saluting) so that the other player can see it. The third player tells the product and the player with the cards on forehead must say his or her factor before the other. The player to say his or her number first gets both cards. Continue play until all the deck is finished. The player with more cards at the end is the winner.
It may be used for addition as well.

Top It(multiplication or Addition) – Each player select two cards and add or multiply(whichever skill is being worked on). The player with the greater or greatest product or sum gets all the other players cards. Play continues until the deck is finished or each player cannot draw two cards. The player with more or most cards at end TOPPED IT!
