This is fun and might even be addictive...FREERICE has two goals: Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free. Somewhere in the world someone is eating rice that you helped provide and you may have learned a new word.

This might be a good game for your kids to play and they would be helping out those less fortunate.

Thanks for the link. This is fun and addictive. Also a GREAT STUDY TOOL FOR THE SAT!!!! Get your teens on here now. They might practice more if they think its cool and compete with each other to see who earns the most rice!!!:goodpost2:

OMG, I saw this on BzzAgent and I am TOTALLY addicted now. I didn't know I was so smart! (just good guesses, actually) I won't even close my browser because I don't want to start over. I'm at "2620 grains of rice" and don't wanna stop playing. LOL

If you go to OPTIONS at the top of the page and select the 2nd option it will remember your vocabulary level and your donation total. As long as this option is selected you can close the browser and each time you reopen your total and level will reappear.

Cool!!! I have had this on my Toolbar for quite awhile but I didn't know about the other option!!

Thanks latrice!!

I think it is a great site, too. I have passed it along to several hoping that they can enjoy playing the vocab game and helping to feed the hungry.

Thanks for posting it on AFC, latrice.

Addicted to this as well. I also passed it on to my mom. She and I can be a little competitive at times, all friendly. I asked her what level she reached and, so far, I am ahead. Woohoo! Don't worry, she's totally got me beat in typing! She's a machine.

Ok who's still playing this? My DH has made this into a competition between us.
