Where in (time/USA/world/Europe) is Carmen San Diego is a 
wonderful series of programs from Broderbund.  You should be
able to buy them for less than $30 each.  They all support
EGA, VGA, and even Hercules.  The programs are fairly easy
to use, quite entertaining, and teach the kids something
about geography or history.  I believe all of them come with
a reference book of some sort in which answers to questions
posed in the program can be found.  Where in USA ... has
a copy protection scheme in which the original floppy disk
has to be inserted so one could advance in levels.  This
could be a bit tough on someone <6 years old.  Where in 
the world... has a copy protection scheme in which information 
has to be looked up in the reference book so it is not so
bad.  Well worth the money.  (I do not work for Broderbund).
