Who can silent and allow a child to be turned into a DSLRinosaur?
On a more serious note, the phone lends itself to 'low and wide'. An 8 yr old probably has the 'low' already covered. The technique to selectively focus and '2-finger zoom' may / may not already be in their skillset. I haven't been to Gatorland, but the photos make it seem like that's maybe not the ideal location for phone photos. Regarding where could be 'good', most anything of interest for the youngster where they can get close to the subject at eye-level is an opportunity to use that phone to capture an interesting image. You, of course, may have to engage a knee or the seat of your pants to see the same opportunity.

I agree on her using a camera instead of a phone if that is what she wants to use.
But if you and/or her want to try phone photography here is a guide (full of ads but it is free): https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/good-pictures-phone-tips

I recall getting my first camera around age 10, and while it was nothing special, I really enjoyed finding patterns and taking photos of them (bricks, stone sidewalks, stripes and the like). I couldnt wait to get the film developed. I really found it interesting that things we see every day could make such interesting photos. I still look for patterns when I'm out shooting, even if its not my intended subject.
