It takes some configuring, but I've had good experiences with using Google Family to manage my kids devices.
1. Go to the web to find the current minutes, messages, data, and days remaining on your permanent phone.
2. Activate your "donor" phone on the same account.
3. Go to the web to find the current minutes, messages, data, and days remaining on your new, donor phone.
4. Go to support.tracfone.com and scroll down to and click "Chat with Support".
5. Populate the message template below with details of your donor phone and permanent phone and share with the CSR.

Activate first new phone as existing number and the minutes and data will be added to your plan and your phone number will be on the new phone. Repeat process for second phone. Then purchase new sim card and activate it with your number. It's a pain in the ass and I've seen accounts break doing this (can't login; account shows as not existing) but it's probably rare.

No problem doing that. We have a half dozen unlocked & no longer activated phones from previous deals.
They are scattered around the house for (wifi) music players and Google Meet.

An 8 year old shouldn't have more than a feature phone.
