Modd.io [0] is a great platform that's relatively easy to get into and start making games. I suspect it would be a fairly good entry point for kids and it has the added benefit that your child can share the games they're making with their friends to play together live.
They have fairly good documentation [1] and if videos are more your child's thing, the founder/developer is incredibly active on YouTube and posts videos [2] and live streams fairly regularly.
They also have templates for a good number of different game types/modes that you can start off with, eg. platformer, tower defense, car racing, MMORPG, etc.
