I never taught kids, but I taught numerous classes and labs to university students and professionals at various levels. Programming is like a game and is fun for a lot of people. It's an easy topic to teach, but there are a few (obvious) rules

1. Exercises should be solvable, not too easy, not too hard, and self-contained.

2. Students come with extremely different abilities, so you need to have exercises of gradual difficulty to accommodate everyone. You want everyone to be able to find some solutions otherwise they'll be frustrated.

3. If you provide good material, you can relax during the class, the computer does the work for you
