Take it one step at a time and make it fun. Little lessons when they're in a good mood. You'll figure it out.
I'd start with little text games in something like basic where you go over things like if statements, for loops, arrays...etc. Maybe start with figuring out a very bare bones game and figure out what the core components are. Maybe it involves accepting a string argument from the user, then has some if statements or something. Teach those components one at a time over a week. Then show how it can be combined in a simple text/console game.
There are people on here that will say not to teach something like CS at this age. My daughter is in that 6-10 age group and we went over some econ books for kids and she hasn't stopped talking about econ with me almost daily for the past year and can understand a lot of the basic concepts from a high level. It's just stuff we talk about before bedtime and in the car. CS should be no different.
