Depending on your kids, mine happen to love Hero Kids and EZD6.
Hero Kids is specifically for kids, as per its name. Pre made character sheets for different skills, its a d6 where player rolls to hit a number. There are good pre made stories, with printable maps and printable stand up figures. We have played 5 or 6 different stories and they do well (6+8 yo)
EZD6 is another Runehammer published game. I have both ICRPG and EZD6 and I picked the latter because its even more simple. Again D6 system where they have to roll based on the difficulty of the task (Easy is 2, Impossible is 6). Normal roll is 2d6 looking for a die about target, disAdv 1d6 and Adv 3d6. Magic is made up by player.

Mausritter has a very easy to learn system, and the corebook is free on itch.io. The creators even have a site that can generate randomised dungeon rooms and character sheets for you. I used it to make an "emergency one shot" when the GM for our main game was sick, with only a day's notice, and people enjoyed it!

Ooh yeah @jecxjo, good point. Pre-rolled characters are great for the first or second time you play, because depending on who you're playing with, you don't want game interest to fizzle on account of "too much math" or decision paralysis. Once there's a bit more investment, you can say "wait, you wanted to be a {CLASSNAME}? let's make that instead and pretend it's always been this way."

Any idea for a TTRPG for beginners (adults and children ages 6-10)? Does anyone have experience with this?
