SCRATCH is a programing language designed for kids. It uses blocks of code that can be manipulated to make a program. I do not know how to use the program. Games can be kept for your own use, or you can post them on the SCRATCH website so everyone can play.
SCRATCH is FREE! It was created by a graduate student at MIT. Click the link and then click the small "Download SCRATCH Now!" button on the left.
 
There is also a similar program called ALICE, which was developed by a student at Carnegie Mellon University. I do not know as much about it, except that it is similar to SCRATCH, but ALICE was designed more for storytelling than games.
