Play Trivia, Have Fun Learning, and Help Feed the Hungry While You Do!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Freerice.com<\/p>\n

What if you could change the world and help feed the hungry while having fun learning by playing a game? You can and we’re going to tell you how.<\/span><\/p>\n

FreeRice.com is an educational game that donates rice to the World Food Programme (WFP) every time you answer a question correctly. The game is simple to play: just choose the correct answer to a multiple-choice question about a variety of topics, such as math, science, and geography.<\/span><\/p>\n

For every question you answer correctly, FreeRice.com donates 10 grains of rice to the WFP. The WFP is a United Nations agency that works to fight hunger and malnutrition around the world. It provides food assistance to people in need in over 80 countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

FreeRice.com has donated over 2.4 billion grains of rice since it was launched in 2007. This is enough to feed over 1 million people for one day.<\/span><\/p>\n

I started with the category of English vocabulary and I sailed through the first few minutes, but the words get harder and harder and the game more challenging as you play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Freeri1ce.com<\/p>\n

Did you know that caprine means goat-like? Bovine means cow-like, equine means horse-like, and porcine means pig-like, and caprine means goat-like. Meanycine means EB-like.<\/span><\/p>\n

And they continue to get harder, for instance off the top of your head do you know what these words mean?<\/span><\/p>\n

agrestic<\/span>
\nhebetate<\/span>
\nquoin<\/span>
\nfulgurous<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, out of 65 vocabulary words, I got 61 of them correct and thus 610 grains of rice were donated to those in need. So today, I did a little to help feed a hungry person somewhere in this world – and I learned some new words too.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can choose from dozens of categories<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If English vocabulary is not your forte, there are dozens of other categories to choose from.\u00a0 <\/span>You can change categories by clicking this icon in the top-left corner of Freerice.com.<\/span><\/p>\n
