As a computing teacher in a primary school I have found Kodu to be one of the most useful and powerful tool I have. Microsoft offer it as a
free download which has made it accessible to all schools. Anyone can pick up a copy, have a play, and create an interesting game. My own preference is to create using a Xbox for Windows controller, but if your budget is low using a mouse and keyboard is just fine!
On this site you should find guides on how to create simple games with your class, with linking extension activities for those require a bit more of a challenge.
Enjoy,
