Awfully cool free site that helps people--




I'm talking about Free Rice. The idea of the site is that you play a cool vocabulary game (although there's other choices) and for every right answer, they donate 10 grains of rice. That doesn't sound like an awful lot, but I find the game pretty addictive. It will totally add up--you can set your options to keep a "running tab" of how much you've helped donate. One of the cool things about the game itself is that the word choices repeat, so after awhile, you learn new words and actually come away a little smarter.

There are also other really interesting options for multiple choice quizzes on math, art, etc. (I'm actually doing the "art" one while writing this blog--it's educational, in that the paintings might not be ones you are familiar with, but you start to recognize the individual style of a given painter. I'm loving this!)

So, you feel like a bit of a challenge? And you want to feed hungry people? And you don't mind learning new things?

Then, this is totally a thing you will enjoy.
