48 free Spider-Man Trivia for Kids trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Spider-Man trivia for kids quiz is written for children aged roughly 7 to 12 and for the grown-ups who read them the comics. It covers how Peter Parker got his powers, who raised him, which newspaper he takes photos for, and the villains every kid knows: the Green Goblin on his glider, Doc Ock with his metal arms, Sandman, Electro, Rhino and Venom. There are also questions about Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen and the pig hero Spider-Ham from Into the Spider-Verse, the Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland movies, the preschool show Spidey and His Amazing Friends, the video game and even the old cartoon theme song. Everything is pitched so a young Spider-Man fan can get most of them right and learn something fun from the rest. There is nothing frightening in here, and the sadder parts of the comics are left out. It works for a superhero birthday party, a rainy afternoon quiz, or a classroom reward game. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia and Marvel film pages, so parents and teachers can read them out with confidence. All 48 questions are free and there is no sign-up. Older fans who want something tougher can try our main Spider-Man trivia page or the Hard Spider-Man quiz.
