Free Rice is an internet game that everyone can play to end world hunger.
Do you want to end world hunger? How are you planning to help out? What if I tell you that there is a fun and simple way to do it, will you take part?
I discovered freerice.com through an email sent by a colleague. She included a screenshot of her donations and encouraged us to do the same. I was intrigued on the part that you can donate rice just by playing the game. So I tried it, donated some grains and I hope you will too.
Why play Free Rice?
• Because it encourages you to help end the world hunger by donating grains of rice for every correct answer you will get
• Because it gives you an opportunity to widen your vocabulary by learning more words as you play
• Because it provides players to brush up on their pronunciation skills
• Because the game is very easy to play, guided by simple instructions
• Because this can be played either alone or with family and friends
Isn’t that exciting? Now that you want to try and see it for yourself, here’s what you need to do:
1. Go to http://freerice.com/.
2. You will see a featured word on the homepage. The featured word is in bold text. You will just need to click on the answer that best defines the word. There are three choices below the featured word that you can choose from.
3. Click on the audio icon beside the featured word to check on how it is pronounced.
4. The advertisers shown below as you play will donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program for every correct answer.
5. The same instruction goes as you progress with the game. The more correct answers you get, the more grains you will donate. Hence, your contribution to help end world hunger.
I encourage all of you to play free rice. Those grains will go a long way, now that a help, is just a click away.
