Question how to teach the newbies to program?

well now that I'm a mentor and everyone who knows how to program is off doing more important things I thought I would teach the new team members who dint know how to program but want to learn. I got some ideas of simple little programs they could work on such as using simple digital sensors to reverse the motor directions etc. I was going to use our vex kits but they are being used by other team members to teach robot design and building so I'm gonna use the Edu bot controller for now. Just thought I would get some of your ideas and maybe how you guys teach your new programmers. I would appreciate all the input I can get. I'm trying to make it a s fun as possible for them so that they will stay interested and learn so that when our current programmers graduate we will have good programmers still around. Thanks
