Greetings! At this time of the year, we are all looking for a way to bring some meaning into the season. You can do for others AND have fun by playing on the site Freerice.com. I came across this site last month and have played on it several times with my daughters. The concept is simple. This is how Common Sense Media explains it:
It's fiendishly simple: the screen presents the viewer with a vocabulary question. Click on the correct answer and FREE RICE donates ten grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. A graphic on the side shows bowls of rice as they fill and accumulate. That's it. Except that now there's another word on the screen, a harder word, so you click on the definition for that one and watch as the score improves. By the time the participant checks out the other topics available -- geography, French, multiplication tables -- dozens of words have been defined and multiple bowls full of rice have been donated.
Check out the FAQs on the website to see how the rice is purchased and donated. You can sign up for an account (free) if you want to track your total donations, or just access the website and start playing.
Happy holidays!
Rosanne
