You do obviously need light. My folks have had great success on the north side of their lawn using one of those low growing clovery plants. As the light increases north to south the grass outperforms it until its back to being a grass lawn.
Idk how it would stand up to kids. Our formerly prize-winning* lawn is looking a lot less lush nowadays.
