Free Rice

I found this post last week that Lisa had made about FreeRice.com. Then I came across the same information at Soccermom's site a few days later. So I went for a visit to play the vocabulary game and had a surprisingly good time playing. I even learned a few new words. Do I remember those words right now? Um, NO! I may remember them the next time I see them, though, maybe... seriously.... OK, probably not. But the game was lots of fun to play. I had so much fun watching my bowl fill up with rice each time I got a word right.

So, what does this have to do with you? Well, that depends. If you have older children, they would benefit from spending time playing the vocabulary game and learning new words. They will also be old enough to understand the concept of giving rice to the hungry so they will learn about doing good deeds.

This site is also perfect for homeschoolers because it is a great teaching opportunity for spelling, vocabulary, and community service projects.

Take some time and visit Free Rice and learn a few new words. Have fun and feed somebody.
