Children's Week, also known as Week of the Wardens,[1] is celebrated by both the Horde and Alliance in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City. At the beginning of May, and lasting for a week, it is a time for heroes of both sides to give back to the innocents of war...the orphans!

Children's Week is also held for both factions in Shattrath City and Dalaran for higher-level characters.

Many Azerothian holidays are based on real-life counterparts. Children's Week generally occurs in early May, and is likely based off of Japan's Children's Day which is held on May 5.

Achievements

The orphan's week event is tied to several achievements.

 [For the Children] is the meta-achievement.  [Veteran Nanny] is associated with Children's Week, but since it requires completing the orphan quests in 3 different years, it is not part of the meta-achievement.

Players must be level 77 to complete  [Hail To The King, Baby] (minimum level to zone in on the Dungeon Finder) and  [Bad Example] (minimum level is 75 to eat some of the foods sold by Aimee in Dalaran).

All of these achievements are simple at the level cap - except  [School of Hard Knocks], which should be your first priority for the meta. The others can be done within an hour or so of play.

Notes

Effect of  [Papa Hummel's Old-Fashioned Pet Biscuit] on the Blood Elf and Orc Orphans
  • The faction capital, Outland and Northrend quest chains are separate from each other, and all three can be completed in the given week.
  •  [Papa Hummel's Old-Fashioned Pet Biscuit] is usable on the orphans.
  • In order to complete the achievements after finishing the quest chains, ask the matron for another whistle.
    • The whistles will last for the duration of the event, after which they will disappear. Although the achievements only specify needing your orphan out to complete the criteria, you will only be able to earn credit for them during the event.
