Hello LarryPeterson2,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you have a second controller, and you are interested in learning how to connect it to the console and use it to play with a friend. We have a support article that explains how to

connect an Xbox wireless controller to your console. We recommend having your friend
make a Microsoft account. Your friend can

download the account to your console after it's creation. Your friend only needs to sync the controller to the console and sign in to the account that was created. Once you and your friend are signed in to your respective accounts, you can launch a game
and play together as long as the game supports two players. We hope this information helps LarryPeterson2!

Just to add, it is worthwhile to check Update xbox wireless controller for the latest release.

1. turn on your controller by holding the Xbox button for a moment. The Xbox button will flash, indicating that it’s looking for a console to sync with.
2. Press and release the Bind button on your console.
   • On the Xbox One X and Xbox One S, you’ll find this small circular button at the bottom-right of your system, under the power button.
   • For the original model Xbox One, the button is on the left side of the console, right around the corner from the disc slot.
3. After pressing the button on your console, press and hold the small circular Bind button on top of your controller. The Xbox button should flash a few times, then stay solid once connected.

To add to what the others have said there are only certain games that have same room multiplayer.

From personal experience I know the Madden games and probably some of the other sports games are.

The Lego games also have this capability.

Once your friend has his account attached to your Xbox and he is signed in when these games are loaded up there would be an option to like press start on the second controller to have that person join the game.

Hello!

There's a lots of age appropriate game and contents for younger kids. If you have hulu, Netflix, etc, they can also stream it on their xbox. Streaming is completely separate, and optional feature. I would also recommend checking out Fallout before purchasing
it for them, to make sure you're OK with the content that is in the game, before letting them play.
