Free Rice!
 
www.freerice.com is an awesome site, where for every vocab question you get right, an amount of rice is donated to those who need it, with no limit to the amount of questions you can answer. This is a great site where you can see how smart/stupid you are while giving food to the hungry.

I donated 70 grains before I felt stupid and gave up.

Nifty, i'm up to 330 at the moment.

Great for SAT/GRE studying :p

I donated 500 grains! I didn't think that I could remember so many words! That was fun!

twhrider13 10-26-2007 12:33 AM

I think I made it up to, like, 2300 one time. But then, I have a lot of time on my hands.

I used the site for a class vocab lesson, and the class in 20 minutes raised over 16,000 grains total. They loved the site, and many went home that night and played again.

Totally love this site! Up to 720 grains. How many grains in a sack I wonder...? In a bowl?

Infamous12 11-01-2007 03:05 PM

This is the greatest thing ever!

nittanyalum 11-30-2007 12:22 AM

**bump!**

Look at how the donation totals have grown and check out all the advertisers now! :)

I think it is 1000 grains in a bowl- when you get to 1000 your bowl empties and starts refilling.

I donated 2000 grains before I felt the need to get back to work.

I love this site!!! I donated 1060 grains of rice before I got annoyed at myself for not being able to move up a vocabulary level. I'll be trying it some more though.

txdiva 01-25-2008 10:47 PM

3500 grains! How come I didn't know most of these words on the SATs but I know them now? Damn!!!

nittanyalum 04-26-2008 08:51 PM

B.U.M.P.

Because I wanted to.

SigKapSweetie 04-26-2008 10:00 PM

Hah! I kick butt at this game! :)

KSUViolet06 04-26-2008 11:14 PM

I donated 3900 grains. Wow, my English major was actually useful for once!

I was just thinking, I could use this in a vocab lesson..... :)

LucyKKG 05-01-2008 12:38 AM

Ok, I played that for WAY too long and donated 10,400 grains of rice! Yay! I got to level 42. What level did you guys get to?

nittanyalum 05-01-2008 01:01 AM

Dang, way to go, Lucy! Good lord, how long did you play to get to over 10,000 grains of rice in one sitting? And I think I've topped out around level 40.

LucyKKG 05-01-2008 01:35 AM

I dunno, it wasn't that long. I know I spend a lot of time on the computer...but it's not that bad!

BetteDavisEyes 05-03-2008 03:00 AM

I donated 220 grains of rice but got stumped at the word dhole.

I looked it up right now and it's a wild dog. :o

dzfan 06-04-2008 05:21 PM

god this is soooo distracting when i'm trying to do work

ztafromuk 06-19-2008 10:10 AM

I kept flipping over as I was loading a bunch of Audiobook CDs into iTunes. I got to level 52, then couldn't get past it. I kept the window open for a few days, and got to 20000 grains.

christiangirl 07-05-2008 08:18 PM

I can't believe how many of these words I learned from disney and nickelodeon!! I'm at 2020 grains, but I'm gonna leave this window open for when I get bored!

cutiepatootie 07-05-2008 11:44 PM

I was in class one day and a teacher friend of mine came in and showed me this site. i have been on this site everyday since school got out for the summer ....i am well over 15,000 gains of rice!

LucyKKG 07-06-2008 12:04 AM

Just donated another 5720 grains! I started going cross-eyed staring at the screen so I quit.

carnation 01-02-2010 02:54 PM

I lovelove this site and have spent a fair amount of time on it today because I just realized that you can switch subjects on it--I did some English vocab, then some Spanish, then some chemistry. Y'all go donate some rice!
