I found this site which gives rice to starving people in poor countries. The vocabulary game is rather fun too, and might be something to try when the weather is , I think it's a good idea.
I don't mind playing it if it helps, not at all... but how does us playing the game help people with rice? Is there a donation per visit to the site from us?
I'm a little confused? :crazy:
I've played it anyway and I've donated 270 grains of rice and have a vocab level of 29...
still confused! lol
Not sure how it works but.... i have donated 500 grains of rice and have a vocab level of 27.
Ok I have donated but the word game is American IMO.! donated 150 rice and word 39 is that good or bad??
Where's FB when you need her?? lol
Jaymar there is a FAQ bit, I have copied this bit..
Who pays for the donated rice?
The rice is paid for by the advertisers whose names you see on the bottom of your vocabulary screen. This is regular advertising for these companies, but it is also something more. Through their advertising at FreeRice, these companies support both learning (free vocabulary for everyone) and reducing hunger (free rice for the hungry). We commend these companies for their participation at FreeRice.
If FreeRice has the rice to give, why not give it all away right now?
FreeRice is not sitting on a pile of rice―you are earning it 10 grains at a time. Here is how it works. When you play the game, advertisements appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these advertisements is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.
Who distributes the donated rice?
The rice is distributed by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP). The World Food Program is the world’s largest food aid agency, working with over 1,000 other organizations in over 75 countries. In addition to providing food, the World Food Program helps hungry people to become self-reliant so that they escape hunger for good. Wherever possible, the World Food Program buys food locally to support local farmers and the local economy. We encourage you to visit the United Nations World Food Program to learn more about their successful approach to ending hunger.
Will the rice I donate make a difference?
The rice you donate makes a huge difference to the person who receives it. To a mother or father watching a loved child die in their arms from hunger, the rice you donate is more precious than anything in the world.
What is being done to end world hunger?
There is great progress being made to end world hunger. Many organizations across the globe are involved in this struggle. Each day, hundreds of thousands of ordinary men and women work for these organizations. Through their efforts, millions of impoverished people have food to eat, learn skills and find hope for the future.

bolt
Got to a score of 40, and stuck with it for 1000 grains.
Who counts them :dry:
1450 and vocab level 46. Don't know how it works either but maybe the adverts are paying for it
1010 grain at vocab level 47 - but that's probably as much coz I am good at working out what words mean from their root parts or similar words as having a good vocab to start with.
