Can second SpeedRunners. They’ve even announced SpeedRunners 2 recently. The only downside with the game is that when you master the mechanics in the game you can’t really play with your friends anymore, unless they are also keeping up. But even then I think I played the game many tens of hours with my friends before I got addicted and got ahead of them.

Speedrunners
It’s on sale for $3 right now. Awesome 4 player competitive racing game without split screen so everyone gets maximized view. Way different than Mario Kart so it won’t be a repetitive experience for them. This is the Steam-based couch coop that’s lasted longest in my friends group.
Tricky Towers
Tetris game, but the catch is you build upwards to a finish line and physics play a role, so the tower can lean and collapse.
TowerFall Ascension
Competitive platformer shooter. No split screen. One large screen for everyone. My favorite aspect is all the options you can change to switch up the gameplay. Coop mode and PvP mode.
Mount Your Friends
A personal favorite of mine. Not necessarily for kids, even though I don’t think it’s anything beyond maybe PG-13. It’s hilarious. It can be pretty competitive. You can choose to build upwards or outwards. I think outwards is more fun. You can watch gameplay videos and determine if it’s appropriate for the kids in question.
Others have pointed out games like A Way Out, the Trine series, and Split Fiction. Those are all great. But they’re longer, story-based puzzle games that take more time than you may have for them to finish. Trine allows 3 players, but the others only allow 2.

Mount Your Friends also has a 3D version which is even more hilarious and adds new challenge given the full 3D-ness. 😃
