Children / Kids Mixed Trivia

1. This may be the first prayer Catholic children learn: "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen." How is this short prayer called?

From Quiz Catholic Prayers for Young People

Answer: The Sign of the Cross

The Sign of the Cross can be made before a prayer, after a prayer, or as a prayer by itself. The "Sign of the Cross" can refer to the prayer itself or to the gestures made when reciting the prayer. A Catholic makes the Sign of the Cross with the right hand, touching the forehead at "Father", the heart at "Son", and each shoulder with the "Holy Spirit". And so this prayer invokes all three Persons of the Holy Trinity. When my father was an altar boy in the 1940s-50s, he learned the Latin version: "In nomine patri, et fili, et spiritu sancti. Amen." Nowadays, most Catholics use the vernacular, which means the language they normally speak to each other. Some in my father's generation and earlier also called the Third Person of the Trinity "Holy Ghost", but "Holy Spirit" is most common in the USA now.

From Quiz Minding Your Manners for Kids

Answer: Stand up so the lady can decide to take the seat if she wants it

It used to be appropriate to ask someone who you felt was in need if they wanted your seat but in order to make people feel less awkward, it's easier to simply stand up rather than ask someone if they'd like your seat. That way, no-one feels insulted and you've done a good deed for someone if they need it! Many public buses and subways have 'priority seating' that is near to the door and set aside for customers in need such as pregnant women or people with a disability. There can be penalties for taking one of these seats when you don't need it.

From Quiz Common Bond For Kids 2

Answer: Cup

In polite society, a drink of tea should always be served in a cup and saucer, preferably made of bone china, and never a mug. What does it say about me that I like a big mug of tea? Oh and the milk should always go in before the water.

From Quiz Pizza and Other Sizzling Words

Answer: An open city square

Piazza is a word used to describe an open city square, in which commonly two or more streets meet, allowing small businesses to sell their products there by taking advantage of the flow of people. These are common in Italy, but squares all over the world have their own names, sometimes similar (for example, a square in Spanish is called a "plaza").

From Quiz Magical things: Black cats, witches & cauldrons

Answer: Wand

Wands come in all different sizes, but usually they are seen on the screen as being about the size of a student's ruler. A larger object used in the way of a wand is sometimes called a sceptre. Wands are portrayed as being magic objects which are used to direct spells at someone or something. In the 'Harry Potter' series, the wands actually bonded with their owner.

From Quiz Say a Prayer for Me

Answer: Grace

Saying 'grace' is a thank you to God for allowing humans to use the animals and plants of the earth for their food. Some people believe that it makes the meal itself holy. One of the graces I remember from my schooldays is 'for what we are about to receive, may the Lord make us truly grateful'.

From Quiz You Can't Touch This

Answer: Poison Ivy

It's best to be able to recognize certain plants before you go out alone, especially in the woods. Some people are not affected by poison ivy, but getting it is not a good way to find out you're not one of the lucky ones. It causes fierce itching and can usually be lessened by calamine lotion, but it takes a while to go away. Poison oak and poison sumac are even worse, but less common. Poison hemlock is deadly to ingest, and looks very much like Queen Anne's Lace (aka wild carrot). Poison dart is the name of a frog that secretes an extremely powerful toxin. Poison dart frogs are found mostly in Central and South America, and usually the more beautifully colored the frog, the more deadly it is. You cannot touch this! The frog secretes a toxic substance through its skin. There is enough poison in a two inch frog to kill ten grown men! There is no poison willow.

Answer: Storm

A tempest is a storm with high winds, usually with rain, hail or snow as well. It is a word not often used now. It has been replaced with words like gale, cyclone, rainstorm or just high winds.

From Quiz More about the Wonderful World Around Us

Answer: Nuclear reactions involving hydrogen

The lightest element, hydrogen, makes up about 72% of the mass of the sun. The second lightest gas, helium, is 26% of the mass. Helium is created in a nuclear fusion reaction where under the almost unbelievably high temperatures in the sun's core (hotter than 15 million degrees Celsius!) two hydrogen atoms are 'fused' together. This process liberates an enormous amount of energy. Scientists are trying to recreate this fusion process on earth but under MUCH lower temperatures. Once successful, the nuclear fusion process will provide almost limitless energy, removing the need to burn fossil fuels. The timeframe for this exciting research to then result in working power stations is unknown but it is almost certainly decades away.

From Quiz Words of Wellness for Children

Answer: bones

Your skeletal system is made up of bones which grow and change with your body. A newborn baby has 300 bones. As you grow, your bones fuse which means they join together at different places in your body. They do not stop growing until you reach the age of 25. You will then have only 206 bones. The smallest bone in your body is located in your ear and is called the stirrup. Milk and cheese are very good sources of calcium.

From Quiz Christian Children's Songs and Prayers

Answer: weak, strong

With all our sin we are weak, but when Jesus died on the cross, he took away that guilt. Now we are not weak, but strong because that load has been taken off our shoulders. In another version of this hymn, the line ends with "In his love we shall be strong".

I hope you all got that right. I like riddles.

From Quiz Growing Up Emotional

Answer: Upset

What I thought was teasing was actually bullying behavior. Many find it can help to talk about this with their parents, teacher, school counselor or principal. Teasing is generally considered to be done when someone wants to connect with another individual, socialize, play, or it can be done in a way to resolve conflicts in a friendly manner. You can figure out the difference between bullying and teasing by the intent of the person or persons doing it. Are the actions intimidating or friendly? What does someone's facial expressions show? You can learn a lot by studying faces and body language.

From Quiz Minding Your Manners for Kids

Answer: Sneeze into the inside of her elbow

Covering your mouth is the best way to prevent germs from spreading and if you don't have a tissue available, the best place is in the inside of your elbow. If you sneeze into your hands, you're spreading the germs into your hands. The common cold is spread pretty easily from touching an infected surface or inhaling the airborne virus after someone sneezes.

From Quiz All About Pipers

Answer: Be quiet

Your parents might have said this to you if you kept interrupting them. The saying seems to come from being on ship, where pipes are used to signal to sailors what they should be doing. 'Pipe down' meant to go below decks. The opposite saying also exists - 'pipe up' means to say something, often unexpectedly, when you've been quiet for a while.

From Quiz A Finish for the Four Winds

Answer: Breakfast

Although Lones78 would have loved to be reading a book, she didn't have time because she was already running late for work. She only just had time to finish breakfast before she raced out the door so she didn't miss her bus. It's very unlikely that Lones78 cleaned the house or did any ironing at 6am. In fact, anyone who knows Lones78 also knows that she doesn't like to do any of things at any time of the day!

From Quiz American Government for Future Leaders

Answer: United States Constitution

The United States Constitution outlines how the federal government is formed. It also states what the federal government is allowed to do, such as run the military, decide foreign policy, and print money. The Bill of Rights and other amendments further state what the government is or is not allowed to do. The government is not allowed to restrict the freedom of speech or the right to bear arms, prevents cruel and unusual punishment, and many other things. If the Constitution does not state that the federal government has the power to do something, then it is up to the state governments to make the laws based on the will of the people.

From Quiz Say a Prayer for Me

Answer: Kneeling

All of these positions could be, and are, used for prayer, but in the west kneeling is used as a form of respect to the Lord. Many churches have special stools, called kneelers, for worshippers to use. In the Bible, Jesus himself is described as kneeling to pray. As well as kneeling, many people put the palms of their hands together, with the fingers pointing upwards, in prayer and close their eyes.

From Quiz You Can't Touch This

Answer: They may bite because they're afraid

For your own sake, don't disturb any snake. There are only a few that are able to chase after you, but they are usually deep in jungles or far from people. Venomous or not, there are many who will bite you because they are just defending themselves or their eggs or babies (and those babies are ready to bite as soon as they're born). Snakes are just as afraid of you as you are of them. For the snake's sake, leave them alone; snakes are beneficial in getting rid of vermin which are more of a threat to humans than snakes are. The more humans build homes and cities, the less land there is for snakes to live peacefully. The giant anacondas, pythons and boas are not venomous but they can still bite. They are difficult to handle and have very strong constricting muscles that can strangle their prey: deer, crocodiles, lions, whatever they can wrap themselves around. The constrictors don't have chewing teeth so they have to unhinge their jaws to swallow the animal whole, and then they can't move around for awhile because it takes some time for the meal to be broken down by internal acids so it can be digested. During this time the snake is quite vulnerable.

From Quiz Shakespeare Said It
