Start by noticing which kinds of videos, photos, or stories you enjoy, and think about why they appeal to you. Pay attention to how creators introduce their videos, how they use music or editing to keep things interesting, and how they talk to their audience like friends. Watch content with a curious mind, asking yourself what makes some videos fun to watch and others less engaging, which helps you start thinking like a creator even before you pick up a camera.

With a parent or guardian, create a short video or photo story about something you love using a phone or tablet. Choose a simple topic like showing your favorite book, teaching someone how to draw something, or sharing three fun facts about your pet. When you are done, watch it back together and talk about what you would do differently next time.

Work with family members to create content together, like recording family recipes with a grandparent, documenting a family project, or making videos of family game nights or outings. Creating content as a family activity teaches you the basics of filming, storytelling, and collaboration while keeping everything safe and supervised. You can share these videos privately with extended family members to practice getting feedback from people who care about you.
