Children's Week 2017 Holiday Updates and Guide
Children's Week 2017 runs May 1st through May 8th! This holiday boasts 10 cute battle pets for players to collect, as well as the challenging PvP achievement
School of Hard Knocks
. Read up on all the details in the
Children's Week Guide
.
The following 10 pets are available through completing various orphan questlines. You can't get them all on one character, but if you do the quests on alts, you should be able to get them all in one year:
Azeroth:
Rat Cage
,
Turtle Box
,
Snail Shell
,
Piglet's Collar
Outland:
Egbert's Egg
,
Elekk Training Collar
,
Sleepy Willy
,
Legs
Northrend:
Curious Oracle Hatchling
,
Curious Wolvar Pup
If collecting these pets inspires you to learn more about pet battling, check out the

School of Hard Knocks
may be particularly challenging this year because it will overlap with the
Battleground Bonus Event
; a time when many players want to do the battlegrounds correctly for
A Call to Battle
. We have a separate guide just to the
School of Hard Knocks
explaining the basics of each battleground for those just interested in getting the orphan achievement.

With
Children's Week
underway, players shooting for
What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been
will be wanting to check this holiday off their list.
Children's Week
brings the meta's most hated achievement:
School of Hard Knocks
. Wowhead has a short and sweet guide to help you get this done with the minimum of fuss. Let's go from the easiest to the hardest. If you're looking for a full guide to all the achievements and rewards from this holiday, check out
Wowhead's Children's Week Guide
.
This guide assumes you have little or no PvP experience, and we've got tips for avoiding PvP if you're a die-hard PvE-focused player who just wants to get this done and never enter a Battleground again.
First up,
always
have your orphan out in these battlegrounds. No exceptions - you wouldn't want to complete one of these objectives only to realize your orphan wasn't there to see it and your hard work was for nothing.
