Along these lines, the Hour of Code team at code.org has some great activities for contexts where internet is slow/computers are not sufficient/unreliable. Go to http://code.org/learn and scroll down to "Try 'unplugged' computer science". They are really cool and don't need much more than paper and pencil, or in one case small cups that can stack.
