I have been teaching kids games programming with Python. I have compiled some of the material I created into a book here: https://github.com/electronstudio/pygame-zero-book https://github.com/electronstudio/pygame-zero-book The only way I have found to maintain interest is to do fewer toy examples and more full-size games, but that also inevitably leads to the kids not understanding so much of what they are doing. I think ultimately you have to accept that some kids will be interested in coding and some will not, no matter how 'fun' you make it.
