Guess Who has a certain educational aspect, in the sense that it teaches pattern matching and logical reasoning. So even though it can be very boring for adults (especially when played for the 50th time), it's probably worthwhile to play with kids.
The thing that's funny about this game is that it's already cooperative and the competition is somewhat artificially imposed upon it.
All that needs to change is that you just play one side. One person does all the guessing, and the other does all the answering. The "challenge" is to do it in as few turns as possible.
A similar notion can be applied to games like Battleship (though I plan to do a separate entry on that, eventually).
