Hooks · Kids channels

Opening lines that stop the scroll for kids channels

Your hook is aimed at the mother holding the phone, not at the four-year-old. Pakistani kids channels open with a long animated logo she skips and an English title she would never type. Say the rhyme in Urdu, say the length, and promise the episode is safe.

Using these hooks

How do I use these hooks?

Should I use them word for word?

Use the shape, change the words. These are written for kids channels generally; the version that works is the one with your own price, your own area and your own customer's actual question in it.

Do these work in Urdu?

Several have a Roman Urdu version below, and in the twin cities that version usually performs better on TikTok and Facebook. On LinkedIn, stay in English.
