My partner and I like to play the Lego games together. Lego Star Wars (2005ish) was a favorite, but the newer ones are fun too.
I second the Lego games. Although the older ones (Complete Saga) & Lego Indiana Jones were annoying to play COOP because there’s no split screen.
But Lego Star Wars Clonewars has split screen so you don’t get in the way of each other. I haven’t actually played other newer Lego games but I assume they will have split screen as well.
In our world, the lack of split screen was a feature. It was less co-op as in play together, in more like play as a team. We enjoy fighting about meaningless stuff like whether to collect studs or whether to hurry along. I’d imagine if I tried playing with a sibling, there would be blood.
For me I just found it annoying that whenever we wanted to go in different directions one player would end up getting dragged back by the camera border. So many failed jumps…
But that’s fair, if someone thinks that being able to get in the way of each other and being forced to cooperate better due to it adds to their enjoyment of the game then playing the games without split screen could be preferable.
I just never considered that possibility.

Lego Harry Potter on Switch is what my wife and I did and she liked it. She is not a gamer.
Weirdly enough she also liked Mario Golf on switch.

Cool. Actually, if you remember, could let me know how that goes? (provided that you in fact try it.) I haven’t tried that one.
