Free Rice is a charity and a fun vocabulary-building game all in one. The game itself is fairly simple. They give you a word and you chose the correct one of four possible definitions. You answer correctly? Next word is a bit harder. Get it wrong? Next word is easier. Doesn't get much more straight forward than that. But here's the cool part. For each correct answer, 20 grains of rice are donated to the United Nations World Food Program. Now, 20 grains might not seem like much, but the more you play, the more it accumulates. In fact, yesterday alone, 139,444,840 grains were donated. So next time someone tells you that playing games online is a waste of time, send them to Free Rice!
