good luck with both Alice and Storytelling Alice (both available from

fact that Alice is aimed at high school/intro college programming
students and Storytelling Alice at middle school students.
I'll second that; a few years ago my then eleven- and nine-year-olds
had fun with Alice.
BASIC on an old Palm was a good choice, too - cheap, easy, very portable.
Back in the old days, I remember writing endless lines of BASIC on
sheets of paper in the back of the station wagon on long trips...
