Please play this word game!
For every word you get right, the site donates 20 grains of rice to hungry people all over the world!
"How do I start playing FreeRice?
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."

"FreeRice is a sister site of the world poverty site, Poverty.com.
FreeRice has two goals:

1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on this site.

Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your vocabulary can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.

Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide. Thank you."

Please go to http://www.freerice.com/index.php to play!

I think it would be great if as many people as possible play this, it's for a wonderful cause. heart

When you get to the site, you can go to the FAQ tab and learn more about the site! Also, on the TOTALS tab, there are totals of grains of rice donated by day, by month, and you can see the totals of other months as well.

Every little bit counts for the people you're donating to. 3nodding Thats not too bad of a number anyways. mrgreen
I just wanted to see if I could get more people playing this by putting it on here...I hope it works...
Its kinda cool to think someone, somewhere, who was starving, could be eating the rice that you donated. Awesome feeling, huh? biggrin

Thanks, me too! I love word games! I'm glad people like the game too! Plus, it's a good way to kill the boredom bug. =)
And you feel good in the thought that you have made a difference in someone's life.
