Hi, Peggy

In this case you may want to give Kid's Programming Language a try. It's a wonderful free product, aimed specifically for 9-14 years old kids, which can learn programming by programming games. It's very easy to learn, it comes with game programs files right out of the box. I can't reccomend it enough - it's one of the best software of this type ever written.
