Free Rice...

I originally posted about this website back in 2008, but I’m far more impressed now! In the past, FreeRice has been a site where students could play a vocabulary game and earn grains of rice for each correct answer. The grains of rice were then distributed to hungry people all over the world through the UN World Food Program.

In 2010, after revisiting the site, I see that FreeRice is an incredible place for students to practice facts for a wide range of subject areas while still earning rice to donate! Students can answer questions about art, chemistry, English grammar, geography, language learning, math, and of course…vocabulary! Students can also now click on a speaker next to a word to hear it read to them and can change the level of difficulty manually! Better than ever!
