That blockly games site is really nice, I think my kids have done scratch mini at school. I'm not really sure I want to "help" my kids to learn to program really, I'm more keen to see what they are into and then encourage them if they need help (but I'd prefer them to do it themselves).

I always preferred the stuff I discovered myself, which was mainly coding/games/computer art and music/guitar. Apart from buying me stuff occasionally, my parents mainly left me to it without too many other distractions.
