Free Rice!

Hello All

I've used this interactive site with students for years and they really enjoy it. 
It has the duo benefit of teaching and reinforcing subjects (at different levels of learning) and provides students the altruistic experience of providing food in a hungry world. 
Students enjoy the challenge among each other to see who can "fill the bowl of rice" fuller and faster.

Navigate around this site which is supported by The United Nations World Food Programme.

Here is how Free Rice works:

 Freerice is an ad-supported, free-to-play website and mobile application that allows players to donate rice to families in need by playing a multiple-choice quiz game. For every question the user answers correctly, 10 grains of rice are donated via the World Food Programme. The available categories include Global Goals: Using Facts to Fuel Action, English, Geography, Humanities, Language Learning, Math, and Science. The categories encompass a total of 24 diverse subjects that can be played on 5 difficulty levels. A user's total score is displayed as a mound of rice and number of grains earned. 
 In 2011, Freerice launched new language versions of the website in Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese and Korean.
