The Humble Bundle has some really good games in it right now, but the one that caught my eye is by the makers of World of Goo, called Human Resource Machine. It's a game where you have to write programs using very basic steps to direct a human to take things from an inbox and put it into an outbox with various processing in between. It really makes you think about the process of doing things and gets you into a programing mind set. It can also teach little guys to know their math inside and out since it will have you doing stuff like multiplying numbers when all you can do is add.
Even if your kids don't like it, it's a really fun game that I've been playing like crazy the last couple of days.
Get it while you still can. The Humble bundle only has a couple of days left on it.
