 Hi,
    Playing with Guido Van Robot http://gvr.sf.net is another good option
to teach programming to young ones. Rurple is just another graphic
representation of the gvr.



Not quite.  GvR uses a Python-like notation and has no OOP support.  Rur-ple
uses standard Python and has OOP support.

HI-

I think Python is a great choice.

You may want to have a look, as a first step, at 
rur-ple<http://rur-ple.sourceforge.net>.
Then, as a next step (although it might be a bit steep), you may want to
have a look at livewires <http://www.livewires.org.uk/python/>.   This
will provide a good introduction to pygame <http://www.pygame.org>.
