Yes, and am trying to build more with the kidsgames project.  Kids are 4
and 6.

Not as successful as I would like.

Some success with the following
	email (pine)
	web browsing (netscape)
	gnomekiss
	linux letters and numbers
	gcompris
	hangman
	dict

there are more, but I'm too tired to think of them at the moment.
