Could your child or teenager use some practice with SAT words, geography, multiplication, or even a foreign language? Well, I happened to stumble upon a web site which will allow her or him to do so, while at the same time helping to put an end to world hunger!
At FreeRice.com, every time a visitor answers a multiple choice question right, the UN World Food Program will donate 10 grains of rice. There is no charge to participate, and if you get an answer wrong, you can try again. There are different levels of play for different ages and abilities.
10 grains of rice per answer may not seem like a lot, but when a lot of people play, it really adds up! So, if your child has a few minutes to spare, it's a great way to help others, while learning at the same time.You can find out more about the subjects that are covered, and try it out yourself, at FreeRice.com.
There are also great picture books to go along with this theme, but I'll save them for another day. In the meantime, please let me know what you think!
