MS's new game builder app[^] uses a simple programming language which could be a good candidate for the answer to "which programming language should I teach my kids first?"
Since your job as a parent is to teach your kids and help them be prepared for the real world and not be their friend perhaps you should teach them assembly. 1) Because Momma's shouldn't let their kid's grow up to be programmers, and 2) The kids that will do it anyway will love you even more for it.

Actually, I prefer to prepare the world for my kid. :) Marc

Or maybe not, I still believe in learning bottom-up rather than top .. not quite down (not that many people go back down when to lower levels after they learn a high level language). You know, for greater understanding about the underlying architecture and all that. That way the lower levels of the machine won't suddenly bite you when the abstractions leak. And also because it's just easier, you just tell the computer what to do instead of having to put it in a strange syntax that you would have to learn first :)

well i think it's cool. Its hard to explain HTML to people, and that's about as straightforward as it gets. This one shows graphically that you have to use severak very simple instructions to get the computer to do what you want, and I think it's a much smaller step from there to (assembly, c, html, whatever).
