Learn Vocabulary (and do your bit to end world hunger)

December 20, 2008

Play a fun vocabulary game on FreeRice and for each answer you get right, FreeRice donates 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program. The program is tailored for children (and adults) of any age. If you get an answer right, you get a harder question. If you get it wrong, you get an easier question.

“According to the United Nations, about 25,000 people die each day from hunger or hunger-related causes, most of them children. Though 20 grains of rice may seem like a small amount, it is important to remember that while you are playing, so are thousands of other people at the same time.

WARNING: This game may make you smarter. It may improve your speaking, writing, thinking, grades, job performance… After you have done FreeRice for a while, you may notice an odd phenomenon. Words that you have never consciously used before will begin to pop into your head while you are speaking or writing. You will feel yourself using and knowing more words.”
