World events are one of the most unique and interesting aspects of World of Warcraft. From fire dancing during the Midsummer Festival to egg hunting during Noblegarden, these limited-time events keep WoW players busy the whole year round.
Children's Week takes place during May of each year. During this week, players are asked to take an orphan under their wing and show him or her around the wide world of Azeroth (or Outland). There are various WoW achievements awarded upon completion of certain tasks with your orphan present.
Earn the "Aw, Isn't it Cute?" achievement for taking your orphan to a series of sights around the world and earning one of the Children's Week reward pets: Egbert, Peanut, Mr. Wiggles, Whiskers the Rat, Willy or Speedy.
To get the "Bad Example" achievement, eat one of each of the following sweets while your orphan is watching: Tigule and Foror's Strawberry Ice Cream (available at the Thousand Needles racetrack), Tasty Cupcake, Red Velvet Cupcake, Delicious Chocolate Cake, Lovely Cake Slice, Dalaran Brownie, and a Dalaran Doughnut.
Despite a misleading achievement description, the "Daily Chores" achievement can be earned by simply completing a total of 5 daily quests with your orphan present. The quests do not need to be on five separate days as the description states.
Perhaps the best-named achievement in all of World of Warcraft, "Hail to the King, Baby" is earned by defeating king Ymiron in Utgarde Pinnacle in your orphan's presence. This achievement can be completed on regular or heroic difficulty, just make sure to call your orphan before the fight begins.
Make like Macauley Culkin and earn the "Home Alone" achievement by using your hearthstone in front of your orphan. Make sure to double check that you've actually earned the achievement, as I the game sometimes fails to award it on the first try.
