Look up Code Club and their Scratch modules. I was a volunteer and we had a few kids around that age and they took to it really well. The instructions are clear and walk them through generating something fun right from the start. I've tried Learn to Program from PragProg and a few other books with the older kids I volunteered with and it just never stuck there was just too much of a gap there still between what they do and what they see. If you do want to go that way though then https://pragprog.com/titles/csjava2/3d-game-programming-for-kids-second-edition/ https://pragprog.com/titles/csjava2/3d-game-programming-for-... something like that but download all the code examples, show them how to run them then just let them play around with changing things and see how it changes on the screen.
