I do. I have a set of plastic (not plasticized, actual plastic, Bicycle makes them) cards as well as regular pasteboards.

And I remember a lot of card games, suitable for small children to adults, including numerous versions of solitaire.

I also have a small chess/checkers/backgammon set.

Child management and entertainment is supposed to be part of the standard Red Cross offerings. When I was working at a recovery center during some flooding here, there was a child care area set up with toys, stuffed animals (that the kids were allowed to take with them), and a licensed child-care working watching over everything. This wasn't a shelter, this was a FEMA site where folks were coming to do the paperwork to get their vouchers.
