I recommend the Keen series. Adventure games with smooth graphics. Played by kids aged from 6 and up. Best loved game among Clayton's afterschool daycare. Admittedly it seems to be played and loved by boys mostly though. Does not require mouse.
Commander Keen part 4, "Secret of the Oracle" is the first of two parts to "Goodbye, Galaxy!". Eight year old Kid genius, Billy Blaze, is in his backyard fort testing out his newly built Photachyon Transceiver. Simply put, it's an instantaneous radio that can pick up signals anywhere in the galaxy.
While listening to an alien sitcom, "My Favorite Yorp", Billy hears a disturbing message. Bzzt...grdddz...oment of great triumph...ferrrt... ast the Milky Way will be..zzz...terly estroyed...buzzt...can stop us now. We will remake...biipp...galaxy in the name...zzzzt...of the Gannalech. Power to the race! Pow...rrp...to the Shikadi!...bizzp! "So the Shikadi are planning to destroy the galaxy, huh?", thinks Billy. "Sounds like a job for... Commander Keen!"
