Scratch.mit.edu is a highly-recommended place to start [1] https://scratch.mit.edu/

> Scratch is the world’s largest coding community for children and a coding language with a simple visual interface that allows young people to create digital stories, games, and animations. Scratch is designed, developed, and moderated by the Scratch Foundation, a nonprofit organization. [2]

This is a list that a lot of HNers contributed to a few weeks ago: https://github.com/arcataroger/awesome-engineering-games#hac...

Some of the games in the hacking section might be kid friendly? 7 Billion Humans comes to mind, especially.
