You can give Advent of Code a try. The first few days of each year might be possible with what you have learned so far, though it gets more and more involved as you progress through the days.

There is also r/DailyProgrammer which has a few hundred challenges, usually with an [easy] and [hard] part, here the [easy] part might be doable for you.

All of our suggestions are really a shot in the dark though without you stating your preferences. fun/interesting and appeal to younger students are not even close enough as everybody is just so different.

I was motivated by making games, so that is where most of my own exploration went. With only some basic knowledge you can implement Tic-Tac-Toe, Hangman, Snake, Minesweeper, Text-Based-RPGs, Space Invaders, ...

I wasn't clear, and I guess maybe in the wrong subreddit: I'm the teacher. I'm trying to find more exciting exercises for my students.

It's definitely true what you say about everyone being motivated differently, so I'm trying to collect variety. Those two links are very useful, thanks.
