Games to teach programming to a 9-year-old?

Michael Tharrington - Feb 22 '20 - - Dev Community

Hey folks!

My nephew's birthday is almost here and I'm trying to come up with a good gift for him.

He's going to be 9 years old and I think he might dig learning about programming — he's into video games and is competing in a chess tournament today.

I was just about start looking up some options for gifts to teach kids the basics of programming, but I thought it might be more helpful to ask y'all.

Any ideas for games to teach programming to a 9-year-old?
