I do this pretty regularly, with a default order. First is a simple guess the number game, then I update it to hangman. After that is either pong or minesweeper. Depending on what I’m learning that should be enough, or I can extend them in some way, such as multi-window pong or turning minesweeper into network battleship.

I think Minesweeper is a great tutorial game. It forces you to learn different variable types, data structures, loops and user input at a minimum, and it's really easy to expand on to make it more complex without requiring unique or difficult logic. Turning it into Battleship is a fun progression - I hadn't considered that, but I like it!
