Scratch has been great for my 10 year old daughter. She was off last week for spring break and started learning it on Saturday. By the following weekend she had written 4 or 5 games and was so proud of her first platformer game.

It teaches some solid programming concepts and the ability to easily "remix" (aka fork) someone else's code is a great feature.

The only downside is that now she's obsessed with how many likes she is getting on her games once she publishes them.
