A Tribute to Mr. Fred Rogers Trivia Quiz

Answer: Smithsonian Institute

A few of Fred Rogers' sweaters are hanging in the Smithsonian Institute. His mom made his sweaters for him. Close to his sweaters is Carroll O'Connor's chair that he used in the 1971 show "All in the Family".

Answer: Removed his sneakers and sweater

Before leaving, while Fred was singing, he took off his sneakers and put on his shoes that he wore in, and then he would also take off his sweater and put back on his suit jacket.

Answer: His fish

Somewhere within the 30 minutes, he would feed his fish. For all the fish that he had in that tank, he sure didn't look like he used much food.

Answer: red

The main color of the trolley was red. On the top of it, there were pieces of wood painted yellow that had the name Neighborhood of Make Believe painted in black.

Answer: Friday, Saturday, and Tuesday

The king was King Friday the thirteenth. Although on the castle if you paid close attention, the thirteenth was written as XIII. That's 13 in Roman numerals. The queen was Sarah Saturday. Her last name was told one time, but you had to be paying special attention to hear it. Their son's name was Prince Tuesday. His name was said a lot.

Answer: Daniel Tiger

Daniel Tiger lived in the clock. Though if you look at the clock close enough, it doesn't have any hands. No need for applause from this clock. Daniel was cautious. When people would come in see him and they were dressed in costumes, he was afraid, because he didn't know who they were. The king's niece, Lady Aberlin, was close to Daniel.

Answer: In the museum

Lady Elaine Fairchild lives in the museum. She was always causing trouble for everyone, and never wanted to make things easy. She and the king didn't get along too well.

Answer: How people make things

Every time Mr. Rogers was curious about how something was made, he would contact Mr. McFeely, and Mr. McFeely would go find the video. Later on in the same show, or in another episode, he would bring the video. I remember one that he saw was "How People Make Toothbrushes"!

Answer: Swimming

I had to read an article for my college reading class about Mr. Rogers, and it said that everyday he would get up and go swimming. If I knew how to swim, I would probably do it too.

Answer: 74

Mr. Rogers passed away at the age of 74. He was just a few weeks away from having his 75th birthday. He was born on March 20, 1928. I was born in 1984, and I'm glad that I was able to grow up with him.
