You need a fairly strong computer to record gameplay, but...
You can try OBS since it's free:

And here's how to set it up for local recordings, start at the recommended crf 15, and lower the number for higher quality and higher file size recordings, or raise it for slightly lower quality and smaller file sizes.

And to set it up for Twitch:

This is a pretty solid webcam for $60: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-Desktop/dp/B006JH8T3S
That should be enough to record, pretty crazy powerful system for a 7 year old though.
