This Web site brings you a very addictive way in which you can help end world hunger! How does it work? Well, you play a vocabulary game and for every correct answer you get, they donate 10 grains of rice to the United Nations.
Now, for all the technical details about how this program works, you should head on over to the FAQ section. The FAQs cover how the rice is donated, how the vocabulary program works and how playing helps you develop your vocabulary skills as well!
The game itself has 50 levels of difficulty and the more you answer, the harder the questions get. So, you can definitely challenge yourself. I know I have! I love it though, because you get to learn new words, what they mean and you’re also helping give food to needy people.
So, how does the game work? Well, you just start by clicking the correct meaning for the current word on your page. Then you continue choosing the correct word and for each one you get right, you move on. If you get it wrong, it shows you the correct answer and then you can still move on.
You’ll notice your vocabulary level underneath the definitions. That way, you can keep an eye on where you are within in the range of levels. My best so far has been 38, but I’m totally addicted, so I’m sure that will go up over time!
I think this site has a wonderful concept and I can’t wait to head back for more. Check it out today!
