International Travel For Kids Trivia Quiz

Answer: Passport

A passport proves who you are and which country you're from. Most countries won't let you in without one! Children need their own passport.

Answer: You feel jet lag and tiredness

Jet lag happens when your body clock doesn't match the local time. It can make you sleepy at weird hours. Drinking water and getting sunlight helps you adjust!

Answer: To avoid interfering with navigation signals

Airplane mode stops your device from sending and receiving signals that could potentially interfere with aircraft systems that communicate with airports to update them on the airplane's location and other useful data. Although the chance is very low for your phone to cause issues if not switched to airplane mode, it's best to listen to the flight attendant's announcement and practice safety by obeying this rule.

Answer: Permission from a country to enter and stay

A visa is an official stamp or document that gives you permission to enter another country. Some countries let you visit without a visa, but others require one. Generally, a visa has a time limit on how long you can stay in that country before needing to extend it or return home.

Answer: False

Fruits can carry foreign insects and/or plant diseases that don't exist in your home country. If those sneak in, they can devastate local farms and ecosystems. A single piece of contaminated fruit could introduce a pest that wipes out entire crops of food!

Answer: The left hand

In India and many other South Asian and Middle Eastern cultures, the left hand is considered unclean. Always use your right hand to eat, shake hands, or accept a gift.

Answer: Protection that helps pay costs if something goes wrong

Travel insurance can cover things like cancelled flights, lost luggage, or medical emergencies abroad. Getting sick in another country can be very expensive without it!

Answer: Euros

As of April 2026, more than 20 European countries share the Euro, which makes hopping between them easy, but the rest of the world runs on hundreds of different currencies, all with different values. Knowing the exchange rate helps you understand exactly what things cost and how far your money will go!

Answer: False

Travel isn't always as simple as picking a destination on a map. In the US, the State Department issues travel advisories for every country in the world, rated from Level 1 (safe) to Level 4 (do not travel). A 'do not travel' recommendation may be due to ongoing natural disasters or war or high crime. Before any international trip, families should always check travel warnings to see if their destination is safe to visit.

Answer: 3 hours

It is recommended to arrive 3 hours early for international flights (or sometimes even earlier, so it is wise to check with the airline to be sure things are running smoothly). Airports with international terminals tend to have longer security lines, passport control, and customs checks that can eat up time fast.

When in doubt always arrive early to avoid a very stressful last-minute sprint to your flight and to start your vacation out smoothly!
