I’ve heard of the site www.freerice.com several times, but didn't check it out until recently.  If you have some spare time on your hands and enjoy vocabulary or word type games, please visit www.freerice.com.

In the middle of the FreeRice Home page you will see something like:

small means:
little

old

big

yellow

To play the game, click on one of the four definitions (“little,” “old,” “big,” or “yellow”) that you think is correct. If you get it right, FreeRice donates 20 grains of rice to help end hunger. In the example above, you would want to click on “little,” which means “small.” You will then get a chance to do another word the same way. You can play as long as you like and donate as much rice as you like. When you are finished, you do not have to do anything―your donation is already counted.

There are 60 levels, but they say that it's rare that people would get over level 50 (unless cheating I suppose).  In about 5 minutes, I donated 1000 pieces of rice and was at level 41. Fun!  

Check it out!  Not only can you help feed the hungry, but you'll also improve your vocabulary!
