In that age group, it will be hard to get their intention/interest
without somehow involving games.
But properly structuring to write a game can teach a lot of useful
programming skills. Pong can be quite challenging if you kind of add the
physics aspect and/or events, that might be a bit tough for the lower
end of that age range.
For an adult (ok, early college students, who's major was not CS), I
used to use Solitaire (Klondike, first in a text screen version, to
focus on the logic) as a project. Minesweeper is also something that can
be used, again in plain text, as using graphics is easily getting quite
evolved depending on the underlying operating system(s).
