The beauty of programming is that’s it’s applicabale for almost any field/type of game. Find something the child is super interested and build a program for that field/game.
Example: if the child likes video games either build your own with your rules or HACK the game.
The idea is not to show the child a loop and expect them to be interested. So them how cool programming can be.
