Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the easiest, most enjoyable racing game on the Nintendo Switch system. Although it’s a port from the Wii U, the Switch version of Mario Kart 8 introduces a lot of the paid-for DLC from the Wii U and gives it to players as regular content.

This will give your youngster a chance to play as any of the Mario characters, as well as a few players from Splatoon and Legend of Zelda. There is no dialogue or story to follow, so you won’t have to worry about your kids not being able to follow the storyline. Additionally, the controls are easy to navigate.
