If you draw a blank the next time you create content for your YouTube videos, you can try a few things to get your creative wheels turning.

Here’s what I recommend you do when you’re stuck for ideas:

1. Engage with your audience and review old comments: Go to the source. See what your audience likes, loves, and can’t get enough of. Take note of videos that didn’t perform well and ask yourself why. Use this information to generate new ideas.
2. Pay attention to trends: Staying up to date with what the kids are interested in can clue you into the content your audience might be looking for. See if there are overlaps between popular trends and your niche to develop new video ideas.
3. Scope out the competition: But don’t just copy them! Your audience wants authentic content from you, not copycat videos of other creators. Use content from other streamers as inspiration for creating videos that cater to your YouTube viewers and match your style and expertise.

Creating YouTube video ideas for kids can be a fun and rewarding experience—you have the opportunity to educate, inspire, and entertain kids with your videos. To make sure your video ideas will yield content that is both successful and safe, keep the following in mind:

Make sure you create videos for your YouTube channel that match the age range of your audience. This will keep you from creating content that is too simplistic or boring for an older audience or too advanced (in topics and content) for a younger audience.

For example, if you are creating educational videos on crafts or cooking, make sure you’re not including videos that would require or promote the viewer to use gadgets or tools that may not be safe for their age or ability.

Always encourage your young viewers to ask their parents or guardians for permission and guidance.

Consider using age ratings on your content to help parents screen for their kids.

Younger kids especially like videos that they can interact with. Create engaging videos for your kids’ YouTube channel that use songs, bright visuals, or fun gestures or dance moves to keep kids engaged.

For older kids, keep the content simple and entertaining. Instead of singing or dancing, you can use creative video editing, exciting sound effects, humor, and animations to hold their attention.

Kids like to learn and are naturally curious, and parents want the content their kids consume to provide more than pure entertainment value.

When generating YouTube video ideas for your YouTube channel, ask yourself how these ideas bring educational value to your audience.

A simple way to stay in touch with what kids like is to ask them. If you have your own kids, ask them about their likes and dislikes and what’s popular with them and their friends.

If you don’t have your own kids, talk to a parent or teacher who spends a lot of time with kids who fall into your target audience’s age range..

Here are my suggestions for other ways to stay up to date:

• Following kid-centric social media platforms and YouTube channels
• Engaging with your audience (read the comments, create polls, etc.)
• Collaborating with other kids’ channel streamers
• Educate yourself on popular games, TV shows, and music for your audience’s age group

Create entertaining and educational videos by breaking complex topics into smaller, easy-to-understand units, using humor, and encouraging active participation from your viewers.

I recommend incorporating quizzes, games, or songs in your YouTube videos to make learning fun for kids.
