5 minutes of caring
Like Words for Rice
Play a game and feed people. Today, by spending 5 minutes improving your vocabulary, you'll be feeding people at the same time. Thanks to generous site sponsors, FreeRice offers you a chance to donate grains of rice to be distributed via the UN Food Program. It's easy: a word pops up on the screen, and you have to pick its meaning from a list of multiple choice options. For each correct answer, ten grains of rice go to feed the hungry around the world. After 5 minutes is up, you'll have fed lots of people and maybe even learned a word or two (or fifty).

What a fun way to help out people in need. Jon commented, on October 25, 2007 at 7:38 a.m.: Dude this site is awesome. It's amazing to see how a simple game like this could get so addicting. And when you realize all the good you are doing, it only makes you want to play it more! Natalyia commented, on October 25, 2007 at 10:06 a.m.: I love this! It's a break from work well spent. :) Laura commented, on October 25, 2007 at 11:08 a.m.: OK, this is much cooler than Kitten Cannon! Debra commented, on April 22, 2008 at 8:16 p.m.: I was addicted to this site right away. But my mother was right. I should have learned latin.

This is a fun thing to do at work or at home, and once you start collecting rice -you will want to get more and more bowls of it.
