Free Rice

The other day, there was a unique segment on the evening news that caught my attention. It was about a website called Free Rice (www.freerice.com). Apparently, Free Rice is an online vocabulary game people can play for free - and then some. For each word the person gets correct, the website donates 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) to feed those in need around the world.

Again, it is free for you to play. The rice is paid for by those who advertise on Free Rice.com. So, while you are caught up in the vocabulary extravaganza, don't forget to check out the advertisements on the site!

Finally, if you enjoy learning and using new vocabulary words like I do (and even if you don't), you should know this game can only make you more intelligent while, at the same time, doing a great thing for the world. After all, knowledge is power!
