Many of them don’t like this subject? How can I let them like computer programming?
What is the best way to achieve my goal?
How old are they? If they are under 10 years old I would consider waiting a bit.
Show them how they can write some simple games.

Hi, i personally stress to motivate them the benefits of learning it. Tell about the future and show some videos relating to the software professionals and the way they achieve their goal in their life.
I advice you that better build up interactive environment so that every student will lay interest upon in lieu of answering the questions.
One example i can give is to start from a basic program like as follows :-
tell them to count the sum of numbers from 1 to 100 manually without using any calculation device. And then they will feel the pain of the effort they want to put. So its now time to show them the benefit of programming by showing that how computer programming will manipulate this within fraction of seconds. Therefore they will really admire by seeing this computer programming benefits.
You can see the below algorithm which finds the sum of numbers from 1 to 100.
NumberArray[100] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ……….100}
loop begin : untill NumberArray’s index is less than or equal to 10 go inside
sum = sum + NumberArray[count]
count = count + 1 (here, increment the count which is index of the NumberArray which gives the number in the position as seen by the value of count)
loop ends
now print the value of sum.

Yes, i will also suggest you the same as MAC said, as a computer teacher i also suggest you that if kids are small don’t take them to the programming side, the programming sector is really dry, and no one of your students will take interest in it, as it bit difficult for elder’s even you are talking about young children, yes I prefer that besides programming take them to GRAPHICS, teach them to design new things, this will explore their ideas and also children will take interest in it, there are many easy to use graphic software’s are available in the market, for your kids the software like PRINT ARTIST, or INSTANT ARTIST are good to use, and even you can make them draw shapes and drawing in Microsoft Word, Presentations of Microsoft PowerPoint, even they will learn something new, and even don’t get bored.
