In all likelihood, Children's Week is the World of Warcraft counterpart of Children's Day, a Japanese celebration that is traditionally held on the 5th of May.

In World of Warcraft, the event is about taking care of a few children made orphans by the many wars that Azeroth has known in recent times.

The event mostly revolves around you travelling through Azeroth with the orphans you are taking care of, showing them the places they have always dreamt to see.

The Children's Week is a rather short event during which you will mostly spend your time travelling with orphans in order to complete the 3 quest lines proposed. In addition, you will probably spend a lot of time doing Battlegrounds to complete one of the achievements that is particularly hard to do (depending on your proficiency at PvP).

In 2024, you can complete the following activities earn the Trading Post currency called Trader's Tender.

Activity	Description	Trader's Tender
Children's Week: Complete a Quest	From April 29th - May 6th complete a Children's Week quest.	100

As of May 4, 2022, School of Hard Knocks is no longer required for the For The Children meta-achievement.

In 2019, 4 new pets were added to the event: Beakbert, Enchanted Saurolisk Scale, Sandy Hermit Crab Shell, and Slimy Pouch. You can get them from two new quest lines that involve Kul Tiran and Zandalari children.

The Children's Week is a 1-week event (as its name suggests). This year, the event starts on April 29 and ends on May 13th.

There are no daily tasks, so the entire event can be completed in a single day, if you wish to do so.

The 3 quest lines start in Stormwind/Orgrimmar, Shattrath, and Dalaran respectively. From there, you will have to travel through Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, Outland, and Northrend. Doing the quests with a Mage, being a Mage, being an Engineer, or being a Mage Engineer will considerably reduce the time you will spend travelling.

For the Stormwind/Orgrimmar quest line, you need to be level 10.

For the Shattrath quest line, you need to be level 35.

For the Northrend quest line, you need to be level 35.

Orphans are NPCs that will accompany you while you are doing the quest lines. Each quest line has a specific orphan that you will be able to summon and dismiss at will. They behave like non-combat pets, in the sense that they cannot be attacked or killed.

The Children's Week event rewards pets and achievements.

The Children's Week is made up of 3 Quest Lines. Each quest line can only be done once a year per character and gives you a pet as a reward to choose among several. Therefore, you will need to complete these quest lines on several characters to gather all the pet rewards (they are account bound). If you only complete the event on one character, gathering the rewards will take you 4 years.

Rat Cage	Stormwind/Orgrimmar Quest Line
Turtle Box	Stormwind/Orgrimmar Quest Line
Snail Shell	Stormwind/Orgrimmar Quest Line

Green Balloon and Yellow Balloon can be bought from Craggle Wobbletop in Stormwind City and Blax Bottlerocket in Orgrimmar for 10 .

In Dalaran, both factions have access to two quest lines. Unforunately, each player is limited to taking and completing only one of the quest line per installment of Children's Week. In the first possible quest line, you will take care of an Oracle orphan and will be rewarded with a Curious Oracle Hatchling. In the second possible quest line, you will take care of a Wolvar orphan and will be rewarded with a Curious Wolvar Pup.

The Oracle quest line is composed of an introductory quest, a first set of 3 quests, a second set of 2 quests, and 2 concluding quests. It requires you to bring your orphan in various places of importance to the Oracles in Northrend and Kalimdor.

Little Orphan Roo Of The Oracles starts the Oracle quest line. It is given by Orphan Matron Aria at the Eventide in Dalaran. You are given an Oracle Orphan Whistle, which you can use to summon or dismiss Roo, your Oracle Orphan.

If you had already completed this quest line in a previous installment of the Children's Week, then you will be given a different Back To The Orphanage quest that will reward you with 25 Magical Pet Biscuits or a Curmudgeon's Payoff.

In Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard added new quest lines to Kul Tiras and Zandalar that reward one of the following four pets: Beakbert, Enchanted Saurolisk Scale, Sandy Hermit Crab Shell, and Slimy Pouch.

Alliance adventures will meet Liam, a Kul Tiran child who wants help deciding what kind of person he wants to be when he grows up. You will escort him all over the island and introduce him to pirates, tidesages, the Roughneck gryphon riders, Arom's Stand falconers, and the Thornspeaker druids.

Heroes of the Horde will take a casteless Zandalari child, Azala, across Zuldazar to help her choose a loa. Soar Pa'ku's skies, speak with Gonk, hop over to Krag'wa, unearth treasure in The Golden Isle, and steal from Sethraliss.

You can speak with Orphan Matron Westerson (48, 40) in Boralus or Caretaker Padae (53, 84) in Dazar'alor to embark on these new quest lines.

Aw, Isn't It Cute? will be automatically earned after finishing any of the three quest lines that make up the event.

Bad Example requires you to eat the following food while your orphan is with you:

• Tigule and Foror's Strawberry Ice Cream
  • sold by Alowicious Czervik in Orgrimmar, in front of the Broken Tusk between the Auction House and the main gate;
  • sold by Emmithue Smails in Stormwind, between the Bank and the Auction House in the Trade District.
• Dalaran Brownie, Dalaran Doughnut, and Red Velvet Cupcake
  • sold by Aimee in Dalaran, outside the Bank of Dalaran.
• Lovely Cake Slice
  • Created by a Lovely Cake, sold by Aimee in Dalaran.
• Tasty Cupcake and Delicious Chocolate Cake, both made with Cooking.

Daily Chores simply requires you to complete five daily quests while your orphan is with you.

Note that your orphan only needs to be there when you turn in the quests, not when you are actually doing them.

Hail To The King, Baby simply requires you to kill King Ymiron in Utgarde Pinnacle while your orphan is with you.

Home Alone is very simple and requires you to use your Hearthstone while your orphan is with you.

In 2022, School of Hard Knocks is no longer required for the For The Children meta-achievement.

School of Hard Knocks requires you to achieve various feats in Battlegrounds while your orphan is with you. There is a lot of controversy surrounding this achievement, as many players join Battlegrounds during Children's Week and only focus on completing School of Hard Knocks rather than trying to play the Battleground properly.

In any case, School of Hard Knocks is very hard to complete, as you need to achieve the following feats (while your orphan is with you):

• Capture the flag in Eye of the Storm;
• Assault a flag in Arathi Basin;
• Assault a tower in Alterac Valley;
• Return a fallen flag in Warsong Gulch.

The difficulty mostly comes from the number of players who will want to complete their objective at the same time as you, especially in Alterac Valley.

Veteran Nanny will require you to complete the Shattrath quest line with the same character in 3 different years, each time choosing a different pet reward.

We hope that this guide will have answered every question you had about the Children's Week. If not, we encourage you to leave a comment or contact us by e-mail, we will be happy to address the issue you encountered.
