This study is prompted by the politeness of the everyday language used by children who watch YouTube gaming content. The goal of this study is to see if there is a link between YouTube game content and language politeness in children aged 5-6 years. This study employs quantitative correlational research with 52 children aged 5-6 years old from TK Muslimat NU 74 Ketegan and TK Muslimat NU 36 Menyanggong. Product-moment correlation data analysis is used in this study, along with prerequisite tests, normality tests, and linearity testing. The findings of this study reveal that there is a relationship between YouTube game content and language politeness in children aged 5-6 years, with a Pearson correlation r value of 0.763, indicating that the relationship between X and Y variables is high. Another finding is that the two variables have a positive aspect. Children have a larger vocabulary, and they know and understand certain English terms. This is demonstrated by children's increased activity in expressing their feelings and opinions at school.
