FreeRice – Socially Responsible Time Sink

Saw this on a friends blog, and oh man it’s fun and addictive.

FreeRice is a (free) web based vocab game. It displays a word and 4 possible synonyms. You choose the synonym you think defines the word, and for every correct answer 10 grains of rice are donated through the UN to help end world hunger. It also keeps a running total so you can see your “vocab score.” Each round only takes a couple seconds, so it’s a great time-filler.

Watch out, it’s really addicting! (I am the proud donor of 1070 grains of rice so far, with a vocab score of 40)
