Help!?

What can we use if we don't have a black marker or a kid-safe drawing app?

If you don't have a black marker, trace with a dark ballpoint pen or a sharpened pencil, or switch to the kid-safe drawing app's bold brush and save the file before coloring.

My marker keeps smudging and the colors bleed—what should I do?

Let the marker ink dry fully (step 6), place a scrap paper under your hand while coloring to prevent smears, or use the app and its undo/save features so colors don't bleed.

How can I adapt this activity for younger or older kids?

For younger kids, pre-sketch the rounded bean shapes and let them pick crayons and stickers for accessories, and for older kids, have them design multiple crewmates with detailed accessories and a clever caption (steps 3–9).

How can we make the meme more creative or share-worthy?

Add a simple background or prop (step 11), turn the drawing into a two-panel comic with different captions, personalize hats and pets, and then share the finished meme on DIY.org as the last step instructs.

Facts about meme-making and kid-friendly digital art

🕹️ Among Us was created by the small indie team Innersloth and became a huge hit in 2020.

🎨 Fans love to remix the same image templates: a single meme layout can inspire thousands of funny versions and captions.

📱 Kid-friendly drawing apps and simple photo editors make it easy and safe to add stickers, text, and doodles to create memes.

😂 The term 'meme' was coined by scientist Richard Dawkins in 1976 to describe ideas that spread—online jokes are modern memes.

👩‍🚀 The game's simple, colorful crewmates are easy to draw, which makes them perfect for memes and fan art.

How do I make an Among Us meme with my child?

Start by brainstorming a funny scene or punchline, then sketch an Among Us character and setting on paper or in a kid-safe drawing app. Add colors, details, and a speech bubble or caption that matches the joke. If using an app, save or export the image; if drawn, photograph or scan it. Show the meme to a parent for approval, then share with friends through a family-approved platform or print it to display.

What materials and apps do we need to make an Among Us meme?

You’ll need basic art supplies (paper, pencil, eraser, colored pencils or markers) or a tablet/smartphone with a kid-friendly drawing app. Optional items: a camera or scanner to digitize hand-drawn work, a simple photo/text editor for captions, and a private place to share (family chat, classroom portal). Use parental controls and adult supervision when installing or using apps and before sharing online.

What ages is making an Among Us meme suitable for?

This activity suits children aged about 6 to 12. Kids 6–8 can draw characters and dictate simple captions with adult help; 9–12-year-olds can plan jokes, edit in kid-friendly apps, and manage safe sharing. For under 6, provide lots of assistance and keep designs very simple. Always consider each child’s reading and typing skills and supervise any online sharing or app use.

What are the benefits and safety tips for making and sharing Among Us memes?

Creating memes builds creativity, storytelling, and basic digital skills while practicing concise writing and visual design. For safety, avoid posting real names, school details, or locations and share only in private family groups or teacher-approved platforms. Enable privacy settings, review content with your child before sharing, and encourage respectful humor—no mean-spirited jokes or personal attacks.
