hi
your right it is important to teach kittens at a young age not to bite or scratch when playing. As you say as they get older it will hurt.
As you know she is not being nasty or mean she is simply playing and has not learned that during play this is not acceptable.
You need to start to teach her that when she bites etc during play that this is not good. Cats react best to negative and positive reactions from us. If you practice this method with her every time it happens then she will eventually learn not to do it.
I have written a page about how to to this here
