Give Rice, Learn Vocab!

It's my day off, and I've spent about an hour and a half today playing an addictive vocabulary game at www.freerice.com. Granted, I learned about the site on NPR this morning so I'm sure that means that most of the on-line world has been aware of this for some time.

Nonetheless, if you're new to it like me, here's how it works: you play a multiple choice game testing your vocabulary and for every question you get right the site donates 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. So far, the site has given over 9 billion grains of rice away which can feed hundreds of thousands of people.

I made it to level 46! Good to know that my GRE and SAT skills are still intact.




Grace and Peace,

Chase

Thanks for sharing this link, but unfortunately it seems to be down... Does anybody have a mirror or another source? Please answer to my post if you do!

I would appreciate if a staff member here at revpeep.blogspot.com could post it.

Thanks,
John
