Euclid's Game
Denise of the superb blog Let's Play Math has streamlined my online version of Euclid's game. The game provides a playful practice for the divisibility, gcd and some counting. The game (more accurately, the Java applet) has been written more than a decade ago when I just began to learn the Java language. At the time, making numbers dance in the applet seemed like a challenge to me. Denise put the numbers on the square board such that during the game the kids need only to circle their selection. Quite simple and pretty.

Here's a Java implementation of Denise's variant
