Hello Everyone:
I just learned about this fun website, www.freerice.com and once there, you'll get a vocab quiz and for every word that you answer correctly, they send 20 grains of rice to feed the hungry around the world.
The following is a blurb from their FAQ's page. So have fun, learn, AND feed people!
The rice is distributed by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP). The World Food Program is the world’s largest food aid agency, working with over 1,000 other organizations in over 75 countries. In addition to providing food, the World Food Program helps hungry people to become self-reliant so that they escape hunger for good. Wherever possible, the World Food Program buys food locally to support local farmers and the local economy. We encourage you to visit the United Nations World Food Program to learn more about their successful approach to ending hunger.
There are 50 levels of vocab, I'm usually right around 30-32, but my highest is 41! So go there, play, and then post your scores here! And pass this along to other 'smart' people you know!
Thanks for sharing this!

Free rice
Wow...I loved this!!! Yes, It Is addicting for a couple of reasons. You not only want to see how many levels you can go, you want to see how much rice you can generate. So you get to do something productive with your time (feed the hungry)and get smarter all at the same time:)This is going to be my new favorite pastime:)

Argh. I got to 42 in 2120 grains of rice, but mom promised that it would save and made me go to bed before I could get to 50. It didn't.
