You can't get a version of a Romeo and Juliet kids version because maybe there is none! But my opinion is to make your own kids version by watching an adult one and just changing it, OKAY?

In any case, it depends on what part of Romeo and Juliet you think is not "kid-friendly". Is it the dirty jokes? Even adults often don't get them unless they are pointed out--you need the mind of a twelve-year-old to see them. The nudity? Just get a version of the play that isn't Zeffirelli or Baz Luhrman. The sword fights? Oh, come on, that's kids' favourite part of the play. The sad ending? That's part of the story; it wouldn't be Romeo and Juliet without it.

It can't be that you are worried that kids won't understand Shakespeare's language. Kids are language sponges--the earlier you expose them to his style of language, the more likely that they will learn to understand it. If you expose six-year-olds to Shakespeare's play they won't understand everything about it, but they will become accustomed to his style and enjoy the swordfights (they may not be as happy about the kissy scenes) and have a basis to go back to Shakespeare when they are older. If they have questions about it you can answer on their terms. ("Why did Juliet stick herself with a knife?" "She was sad because Romeo was dead." "Oh, OK")
