If you are using Mac OS X, you might like MakeBot.app, my simplified IDE for teaching.  It is a very easy to use interface to Python, easing the learning curve to write your first program.  I.e. you can teach them just one line of code and execute it, without having to explain command line interfaces.  Not that command line interfaces are bad, just that it's a lot to learn when starting.


Also, have you seen the LiveWires game programming package?  It builds on top of pygame.
