A few students from my Computer Programming II class helped with the Winter WONDER Land enrichment program at the Allen County Intermediate Center this weekend. Our sessions were introducing Scratch programming to students groups from grade 2 through middle school. We were able to help students generate three programs. Two drawing programs and a pong game.
Scratch is a programming language developed by MIT. It is a scripted language that uses a "drag and drop" method of building a program.

About Scratch
With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share your creations with others in the online community.
Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for life in the 21st century.
Scratch is a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. It is provided free of charge.
