Do you have Scratch? MakeyMakeys are great too if your school can afford it.

Hopscotch is good. Worth paying for the premium version. Scratch is also good but I feel works better on a pc.

One of the great benefits of Scratch is being able to use it offline , schools’ broadband not being the best .
