What are some less well-known cooperative kids board games? – Ask The Bellhop

Brian Kurtz, Tabletop Bellhop patron asks,

I am looking for advice on cooperative tabletop games to play with kids of different ages (grade school through high school).
I have enjoyed Hoot Owl Hoot for very young kids and Forbidden Island for older kids, and I have heard good things about Pandemic.
Are there less well-known options I should be checking out?

More important to your question is the number of games coming out that are fun for players of all ages. For many years kids games were fun, for kids.
