Scratch is aimed at kids and is the best introduction to programming for kids and parents of all ages and abilities Minecraft has all levels of in-game programming from simple recipes to redstone circuits. outside the game there're procedural quests, time-based events, animated skins.. "look Daddy I spent 4 hours building this castle" - "that's great, let's find out how to make thousands of them in seconds!" YouTube is full of programming tutorials for kids. there is a lot of crap to trim but the time is well invested there is a balance between work and play, but often the benefits of coding bleed into the gameplay to a point where the two are happily married the trick is finding a balance - halve screentime into educational and recreational, they still get 100% gaming/YouTube, just on a reward basis in general, teachers at school cannot code and kids will need to be able to code in the future. it's not the teachers' fault, they weren't taught to code yet they have to teach coding. the next generations of teachers will not have this problem since they will be kids from now onwards who can code. introducing coding as a regular activity at home will benefit kids for life
