Nice that you are having a visit with your grandma.
My mom is an avid Scrabble player. You two would get along great. My sister plays with her quite a bit. My mom lives 800 miles away but when she comes for a visit, we play.
She is crazy with the Scrabble, she has her very own rules that are consistent with trading letters, but I'm not sure they are official rules. She tries to use all 7 letters and put it on triple word score and she'll sit there forever until she can figure it out. Drives me insane how long she takes for her turn.
Oh, and my big trick on Yahtzee is that when you are trying to get a Yahtzee, you say as you are shaking the cup, "momma needs a new pair of shoes."
I don't know, but it works. Just in case you need a little advantage.
