Welcome to the Momentous Moments Kids Quiz for
Children’s Hospice Week 2015!
Children’s Hospice Week is the UK’s only national charity week for children and young people with
life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and the services that support them. The aim of the week is
to highlight the wonderful work that children’s hospices d o to help and care for seriously ill children
and their families.
This year, Children’s Hospice Week will take place between Monday 11 – Sunday 17 May and focuses
on making every moment count to highlight how precious time is for families.
We’ve created this action packed quiz for teachers to host in their classrooms during Children’s
Hospice Week with six fun rounds that focus on the theme of moments. The quiz features a mixture
of easy and harder questions with optional multiple choice answers for younger children.
To host the quiz, you can either ask students the questions by reading them out and asking them to
write their answers down - either on their own or in teams, or you can give them the quiz sheets to fill
in.
The quiz takes around 25 minutes and rounds include:
