Pros

Helps those in need, Doesn't cost anything, 100% profits donated to charity, Enhance your vocabulary

OCT

2009

I recently stumbled across the website FreeRice.com and absolutely love it! It is a non-profit website that donates grains of rice to the hungry around the world in exchange for your FREE participation in their vocabulary trivia. This wonderful website was started in 2007 by a man named, John Breen. United Nations World Food Program (WFP) has since taken over the website and it runs completely non-profit.

How does it work?

When you go go FreeRice.com, there is a vocabulary word and four possible definitions. Simply click on the definition that you think describes the word and if you are correct, ten grains of rice are donated to the WFP. If you are wrong, it simply goes to the next question and will go back to the question you answered incorrectly later. The correct answer is shown after each question, so if you get it wrong, you can pick the correct answer later. All grains of rice are donated to the WFP on behalf of the sponsors that advertise on the FreeRice.com website.

If vocab isn't your thing, go to the "Subjects" tab and choose another category like: math, chemistry, art or geography. There are also different languages to choose from too, so if you want to sharpen your Spanish, French, German or Italian, you can donate free grains of rice by enhancing your foreign vocabulary at the same time.

Although ten grains of rice per correct answer might not seem like a lot, think about how much rice could be donated if everyone introduced someone to FreeRice.com. It's absolutely free to play and the rice is being donated to needy, hungry people around the world. Everyone can benefit from visiting this non-profit website and feel good that they are going some good too!

That is a great idea for extra credit! I just found out the other day there is a site called FreeFlour too!

I love this site! My homeschool friends use it as "extra credit" for their children. Great idea, huh?

I'm glad I could brighten your day :) Giving is a beautiful thing and knowing some person in a far away land is not going to starve someday, because you made that contribution is reason enough to smile!

Oh, that stinks. I just discovered it the other day. That is a bummer :(, but those are my thoughts as well, its charity, so in the name of that, I will continue to visit lol...

I just went and played at freeflour. I noticed that you get a question every now and then that is from the sponser. If you don't click on "return to quiz", it opens a new window. That's a bummer! Oh well, it's still free charity!

I didn't either until about two days ago. I was specifically looking for hunger websites online. I knew there was thehungersite.com too, so I stumbled upon it by mistake. Your welcome! Have fun!

Thank you so much for telling me! I had no idea there was a freeflour too! Now, I have to add that to my list too! Thanks again, I appreciate it! I am going to go there now and check it out!

Your very welcome. They have freeflour.com now too, the questions are really easy, though, but I still try to visit, I guess every little bit helps! :)

I need to add that website to my "favorites" list on my computer so I can remember to play everyday. I love that 100% of the proceeds go straight to the hungry! Thanks for reading!
