Sounds Fun - I ran an after school tech club for 6th graders centered around Scratch for 5 months this year. The kids absolutely loved it.

I used Scratch with students grade 1-7 this year. First grade animated a fieldtrip that they took. Second grade animated one of their health outcomes. Third and fourth grade only animated their names. Fifth grade animated their assigned Spanish explorer. Sixth grade animated anything out of their Chapter 7 Social Studies book. And 7th grade animated their research country. The kids like it.
