Good Switch game for 7yo who doesn't read/speak English? (self.nintendo)

I've recently repaired my old Switch and given it to a friend. Since I suspect they'll be playing with their 7yo kid, I just wanted to know if you have any recommendations?

The kid doesn't speak/read English, so the game in question would need to not rely on understanding of the language.

Their native language is Swedish if that has any impact.

Thanks!

What the Golf? worked well for the nephews cause the text doesn't really matter, very simple controls and can play almost all of it on touchscreen (some holes use gyro aiming), a quick play/show to a friend mode and also a funny game. just a warning some holes get hard so they might get frustrated and need help.

Edit forgot to add 2 player vs as well
