Bloons Tower Defense 5/6 are great for kids. They do have microtransactions but they don't nag you to buy anything, and everything is easily obtainable just by playing. Also, nothing that you can buy is "content."
If you're able/willing to download ROMs and emulators, the first handful of generations of Pokemon games are great for touchscreen/mobile. My favorite was always Pokemon Emerald (GBA) but you can easily emulate all the games up to about X2/Y2 (DS) on any modern Android device. (I use "MyBoy!" for the GBA games, but PokeMMO is good for combining both the DS and GBA games into more of a mobile game experience rather than an emulator experience, if that makes sense. Everything is just easier, and probably a lot more accessible for a primary school kid.)
It's also worth noting that girls like a lot of the same kinds of games boys like. 🤷♀️ Just give her as many good options as you can find and let her decide what she finds fun. Me and my sister had a blast playing CoD Zombies on our aunt's tablet when we were kids.
