Squiz Kids!

It's your daily news fix, one, free, fresh.

Hello Fabulous Squiz Kids quizzes and welcome to the Kids Versus Adults Weekly News

Squiz.

This is your chance to prove who's being paying the most attention to the week that just

was.

I'm Bryce Quart.

So how does this work?

First, we'll have five questions for kids about what's been happening in the world

for the past seven days, then five questions for adults.

Whoever answers the most correct questions can take the winners podium.

Easy as.

Plus, of course, because it's a Friday, we've got all today's birthday shout outs and

all the shout outs for the weekend coming.

King, of course, the birthday reggae tune, because it wouldn't be a Friday without

it.

Okay, you ready all?

Let's do this.

Alright, kids, here are your five questions.

Question number one.

There was an election in South Australia over the weekend, and voters decided to stick

with the same leader for another four years, which political party won the South Australian

election.

Was it A, the Liberal Party, B, the Labor Party, or C, the birthday party?

Wouldn't it be fun if it was C, the birthday party, but no, it was B, the Labor Party?

Question number two.

Remember Punch, the baby monkey who was feeling a little bit left out and had to play with

a plush toy orangutan in a zoo in Japan?

Well, good news this week, he's found a real best friend.

What is the name of Punch's new monkey mate, and we talked about it earlier this week in

the podcast, and I'll give you a hint.

It's a short name that rhymes with go and sounds like something you might do to the lawn.

Yeah, well done, that was a pretty easy one in terms of hints, wasn't it?

The name of Punch's new Bestie is Mo.

Question number three.

We learned this week that kids in Queensland might soon need to hit the brakes on their

e-bike and e-scooter rides, with new laws bringing in fines and even police patrols to

enforce them.

What is the minimum age that you'll need to be before you can legally ride an e-bike

or e-scooter in Queensland?

Is it a 12, b 14 or c 16 years old?

Yep, well done if you said c 16 years old.

Question number four.

This week one McDonald's took fast food to a whole new level, with robots greeting customers,

delivering meals and even entertaining kids.

In which Chinese city did this take place?

Remember, I'm asking which Chinese city?

Was it A, Shanghai, B, Seoul or C, Tokyo?

Well done if you said Shanghai, because of course Seoul is in South Korea and Tokyo is

in Japan.

Question number five.

We heard in the podcast this week how there was a US college basketball game where one player

made his opponent look like they'd accidentally wandered in from primary school.

What was so incredible about Olivia Rue's appearance?

Yeah, that's right, he is extremely tall.

He stands at around 2 meters and 36 centimeters or 7 foot 9 inches tall.

Whoa!

Alrighty, how did you go kids?

To be honest, did you just cook the adults?

I thought so.

Just before we get into the adults questions, this weekend, Squiz Kids Science shorts

asks a question that's been right under your nose this whole time.

Why are humans the only animals with...chins?

It explores what a chin even is, turns out that's a bit of a head scratcher.

Why no other animal has one and what chins might have in common with birthday cake

crumbs?

Yes, really.

You'll find it waiting for you and your podcast feed first thing Saturday morning.

Okay adults, stretch, hydrate, get ready to rumble, you've got this.

Here are your questions.

Question number one.

The kids told us that the Labour Party was returned to power in South Australia last weekend.

In the politician, who was secured another stint as Premier of South Australia.

Yeah, that's right, it's Peter Malanowskas.

Question number two.

Who did the Matilda's lose one nil two in last weekend's Women's Asian Cup Final

in Perth?

Yep, that's right, they lost to Japan.

Question number three.

Name the pesky, tropical cyclone that just wouldn't leave Australia alone this week.

Smash it into Queensland, the NT and WA.

Yeah, that's right, her name's Narell.

Question number four.

If you're any sort of a hip adult, you'll get this one, which mega famous boy band almost

broke Netflix this week with the streaming of their comeback concert.

Did you say BTS?

My, my, my, you are a hip adult.

Question number five.

Staying with pop culture, which Aussie Songstress, who will be representing Australia this

year at the Eurovision Song Contest, kicked off her Eurovision campaign this week with

a gig in Norway.

Take a bow if you said Delta Goodroom.

Alright adults, how did you go?

Count up your score.

Who's claiming the bragging rights this week?

If you've missed any of these cool news stories throughout the week and you want to refresh

your memory, all of this week's Squiz Kids episodes are available for a re-listen wherever

you get your podcasts.

Alright, we're not done yet, because coming up next, it's time for shout out.

It's Friday March 27th, today is Walk to Work Day, and it's also wear a hat day, raising

money for brain tumor research, hmm, walk to work, wear a hat, those two work very nicely

together.

It's also a special day for these Squiz Kids celebrating a birthday today and over the

coming weekend.

And because it's a Friday, let's crack out the old birthday reggae tune, hit it.

And it's Happy Birthday too, Rod from Petri, Alabama from Belmont, Teaser from Lithgow,

Dave from Lake Sentrance, Charlotte from the Blue Mountains, Ben from Clyde North, Olivia

from East Free mantle, Henry from Longaville, Oscar from North Perth, and Emilia who's

listening all the way over there in Bakaramanga, in Colombia, in South America.

Well, that's a first.

Now don't forget to tune in this Sunday when a new, from the Vault episode arrives in

your podcast feed.

This weekend, we're heading deep, really deep, with the Squiz Kids shortcut to the deep

sea.

It's a journey into a world without sunlight, where creatures glow, jaws stretch wide enough

to swallow, pray whole, and survival means adapting to some of the toughest conditions

on Earth.

It's a chance to explore a part of our planet that's less understood than even the surface

of the moon.

And it's packed with some of the strangest life forms you'll ever hear about.

Find it in your podcast feed this coming Sunday.

For now though, this is Bryce Corbett signing off, and reminding you all to get out there

have a most excellent day over and out.
