It began on September 6, 1999 at the start of the show's 16th season and featured 10–12-year-old children (except for Season 30). Like regular play, winners kept whatever they have won at the end of the game while the second and third place finishers received consolation prizes. However, there were no returning champions for this event. A Kids Week Reunion was held during the second week of Season 25 bringing back 15 Kids Week alumni from 1999 and 2000. The games have been discontinued after a Season 31 Kids Week contestant who was eliminated before Final Jeopardy! ran backstage crying to her mom upon hearing the bad news.
In case of a tie, the game is decided by a tiebreaker issue just like in a tournament (September 20, 2002).
