If you mean for CC, then you should probably attend some of nitrofingers' classes in game design at CCU.
Or just watch some videos on the channel.If you mean in general, a good place to start if you've never touched game development at all is with is
Scratch. It's rather limited, but pretty fun to play around with, and it teaches basic programming logic very well.
Game Maker isn't entirely free, but it's a good starting point nonetheless. It's like a more advanced version of Scratch.
When you're ready, you can move up to stuff like
LӦVE, which uses lua, and is a very barebones framework instead of a full blown studio, like Scratch or Game Maker. Frameworks like these are usually harder to use, but they offer more flexibility and use less resources, making a more generally appealing result if done right.
Here's a nice list of game engines/frameworks.
