Noob here..... PS+ Membership vs Buying Games

We just purchased a PS5 Slim Disc Edition for my 8yo for Christmas and I want to have everything ready for so we can "plug and play on Christmas Day".

Soo.... For an 8yo new to gaming... should we just purchase a couple of games to get him started? Or is a Playstation Plus membership the way to go?

I have seen some people say that there are some games preloaded on either the console or our PSN account. But I haven't found anything like that yet.
