The excellent 'World Countries' game made by 'orinoco' is implemented in SVG and javascript in a single file:

 http://files.myopera.com/orinoco/svg/WorldCountries.svg

It is a lovely game, it is under the GDL and already works on the OLPC. It would make an absolutely great activity for the OLPC and only needs a little bit of tuning to make it work perfectly on the platform.
