Take the Kids Quiz Questions quiz

Answer a few questions and see how you score.

The hardest part of a family quiz is pitching questions right. Ask a 6-year-old about state capitals and the game is over; ask a 12-year-old to name a farm animal and you will get an eye roll. That is why this page sorts its 61 kids quiz questions into three age bands: ages 5 to 7, ages 8 to 10, and ages 11 to 13.

The youngest band sticks to animals, colors and everyday things. The middle band adds basic science, geography and cartoons. The oldest band brings in space, world capitals and school-level science, hard enough to be satisfying without turning into homework. Every answer has a short, friendly explanation, which is perfect for the inevitable follow-up question of why.

For a whole-family game, mix these with easy quiz questions so the adults play too, or add a silly round from the fun quiz questions page. Young fans of specific worlds might prefer the Disney quiz or Minecraft quiz pages.
