While shopping the toy section at Target a few weeks ago, in the science/educational section, I came across a few variations of a "//code programming game series"[0] by Thinkfun[1]. The titles I saw were "Robot Repair" which focusses on boolean logic, and "On the Brink" focussing on procedures.

The target age group indicated on the box says 8-adult, but I suspect it's quite likely that younger ages can also play along, with some help or guidance.

I haven't played or looked at them in depth, but from a superficial overview, these do look quite beneficial for understanding some of the core concepts.
