I would use this for windows

  1. http://fmslogo.sourceforge.net/
  2. http://www.softronix.com/logo.html
  3. Others here: Logo programming language implementations

I wouldn't teach Visual Basic to a person or child that is starting to program, a non static language it's preferred. Also I won't teach PHP to anyone, but that's a personal taste.

You can also take a look at Alice. Which is a language some people also use to teach kids.

You might want to also consider "Small Basic": http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/beginner/ff384126.aspx

I have no experience with it, so I might be a bit off-base, but it seems to have a few fans:

  • Microsoft programming language for children
