ABOUT CHILDREN'S WEEK

This year, the holiday will begin on April 29 and will end on May 6. Take an orphan under your wing, perform the tasks you are presented with and you’ll show one of Azeroth’s children that you care (and be rewarded with a special in-game pet to boot).

Many orphans wish they had someone special to show them the wonders of the world. Throughout the year, they often spend their time wandering around their home cities of Stormwind or Orgrimmar, dreaming of the day they'll be old enough (and big enough) to venture out into the world to see the sights their parents would have shown them.

During Children's Week, brave heroes of the Horde and the Alliance can make these kids' dreams come true!

Activities
Visit famous landmarks

Talk to either Orphan Matron Nightingale in Stormwind (Alliance) or Orphan Matron Battlewail in Orgrimmar (Horde). After that, you’ll be able to take your young friend on an adventure across the lands of Azeroth and Outland, and bring your young friend back to the orphanage!

Achievements party!

Unlock many fun achievements whilst travelling around the world with your orphan by your side. You can learn more about the achievements on the Other Rewards tab above.

Throughout the year, the orphan children of Azeroth spend their time wandering around their home cities of Stormwind or Orgrimmar, dreaming of the day they'll be old enough (and big enough) to venture out into the world and see the sights their parents would have shown them. These pets are available from your faction capital city quest.

The orphans of Shattrath's Lower City, victims of the war that rages across Outland, also need company and adventure. The outcome of the ongoing battle against the Burning Legion may one day lie in the hands of these children, so a little encouragement, or a push in the right direction, could make all the difference in the world.
