I was waiting for my half of a half of a bagel to toast this morning, and I read about this site in the local paper. Its called FreeRice. You go and they test your knowledge for words. Each correct answer awards you 10 grains of rice. Subsequent answers, 10 grains of rice.
They are donating grains of rice through the United Nations to feed the hungry around the world. Go. Play. Define. Donate.
I think this is a very good thing.
That's a pretty cool thing.
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat site..thanks.. I'm already over 2500 grains..It's addicting
ReplyDeleteThis is like my favoritest thing now. I LOVE vocabulary and this is so relaxing to me! I've raised like 2500 grains of rice so far or something! Yay! :)
