Can I Help Someone By Playing a Game?

Maybe…

Take a look at this site called Free Rice. Read “How to Play” on the right-hand side.

The first page of the game tests vocabulary. Notice that you can listen to the word that you are defining. You can also change the subject and play games using multiplication, famous paintings, or world geography.

What do you think?

Is it worth playing a game that donates 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program for each answer you get right? Post your opinon on the blog!

    I thought it was very cool to learn meaning’s to words by playing a game and helping feed hungry people. I think it could really help if enough people played!

    I think that it is a helpful and fun game to play because a lot of the time you will get easy questions so you donate a lot of food to the hungry
