For your first real Squeak program, I'd say yes, use Morphic.

MVC is another option, but it's not as actively maintained, and I think 
Morphic is actually easier to use for programming something like a 
simple game.  (For example, you probably don't need to worry about 
model-view separation with a simple game, and the Morphic halos are 
extremely useful when trying to debug the graphic elements in your 
game.)

Croquet is an option in theory, but it's extremely alpha and 
experimental and not at all geared toward beginner programmers.
