Words for Kids Trivia

1. It's time to go to Grandma's house. Wow, her outfit is the best! Which sentence uses correct grammar?

From Quiz Grandma's Grammar Pie

Answer: Grandma is wearing a white hat. (B)

The word "an" comes before words that start with a vowel sound ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', or 'u'). For example, Grandma might wear "an orange apron" or "an awesome hat". If the word does not start with a vowel sound, the word "a" comes before it. That is why Grandma would wear "a yellow dress", "a green necklace", or "a white hat".

From Quiz Common Coloured Phrases for Kids

Answer: Red

The expression "A red rag to a bull" or "It's like waving a red rag at a bull" means that something that really irritates a person is enough to make that person very angry when they're forced to deal with it. An example of this could be a mother who really loves her children but who hates it when they leave their toys all over the floor. So perhaps, when she comes home from a hard day's work and finds her children have left their toys strewn all over the floor in every room of the house, she becomes very angry indeed and threatens to throw every toy in the bin. Bulls, as you may not know, really don't get angry at the colour red at all, because their eyes cannot discern that colour. What actually makes them angry is the movement of something that is waving about in front of their eyes.

From Quiz I'm Just Saying!

Answer: moss.

Have you ever thrown a rock? Of course you have. It was most likely just a rock - no hovering flies, no clinging strands of wool. OK - maybe it was a tiny bit dirty... but you get the idea. This {parable} tries to make us realize the importance of staying busy, working, leading productive lives. You may know someone who is lazy; they just sit around all day doing nothing. A saying like this one fits them! Those layabouts will be left by the wayside, as the world passes them by. Active, busy people are the ones that get things done! Remember - the words you see inside braces { } are all synonyms for each other. You get to take a quiz AND increase your word power at the same time. What a great deal!

From Quiz Cliches for Kids

Answer: silver

A cliche is an idea which means something different from the actual words. For example, every cloud does not REALLY "have a silver lining", but it means that even in a bad situation you can find some good; the saying encourages you to go on in spite of the obstacles facing you. Another example would be when it's raining very hard and someone says "it's raining cats and dogs", but you know it's really not!
