FreeRice FreeRice is a vocabulary “tester”. Every time you click on a correct answer, the website donates money to buy 10 grains of rice. Website advertising provides money for the World Food Programme to buy and distribute the rice.
Finally…we can recommend some sites on here for fun! I hope you have some suggestions of your own we could use in the future. I know some of you like to play chess and we have “Chessmaster” on the board…if you would like to hone your skills further, HERE is a free place to try on the web!
Until next time…have fun learning!
