Take care of the world AND your vocab!

http://www.freerice.com/

This website is amazing!! They have a variety of games to play for many subjects: English, Math, Science, Geography, and even foreign language! Playing the games helps donate free rice to hungry people (as the name suggests). Below is a snippet from their "about us" section on their webpage.

"About FreeRice
FreeRice is a non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Programme.
FreeRice has two goals:
  • Provide education to everyone for free.
  • Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on this site.
Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your education can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.
Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide."
