Aladdin on the genesis was amazing, or Little Mermaid for NES.  Laugh if you must but I remember being surprised as a kid at how much fun this game was.

Actually I played the crap out of The Little Mermaid as a kid. I would borrow it from a cousin and marathon it for an entire weekend at a time. So good. As for Aladdin, I prefer the SNES version over the Genesis version.

Epic Yarn is great for kids.  Can't die and good multiplayer.

I can't quite remember what I played with when I was 7... Mostly Legos and doing drawings and such.  I have vague memories of Pitfall, Paperboy, and Duck Hunt, and when I got a lil' older, Sonic the Hedgehog, General Chaos, Mutant League Hockey, Road Rash, Tetris, Rampage...

For current-gen, I hear Double Fine Happy Action Theater is great with kids, and there's always Mario Kart, Mario Party, Wii Sports, Kinect Adventures.

Pokemon Pinball is actually really good.  I need to get myself a copy of that.

Both Pokemon Pinball games are very good. Metroid Prime Pinball is pretty alright too.

My ex-girlfriends 5 yo daughter will turn on the PS3, TV/Stereo by herself and fire up Little Big Planet and sit there for hours making faces and putting stickers all over the place.  It's hard to not laugh with her!

I did the same thing when I was a kid.  I always wanted my older brother to play games that I wanted to play just so I could watch him.  I wasn't good enough at them to make any progress, so it was just as fun to watch him do it for me.

I always wanted him to play Kid Chameleon for some reason.

What about Katamari Damacy?  And mobile games seem especially handy for kids.  Canabalt is good for a laugh when I have a few minutes to start it up on the Android.
