[|VOCABULARY BUILDER - FREE RICE]

Students can earn grains of rice that are donated to people around the world by answering questions correctly. It used to focus only on vocabulary building, however, they have recently added the following subject areas: mathematics, geography, language learning (Spanish, French, German, and Italian), chemistry, and art. Students in grade seven used FreeRice last year and really liked it. Current sixth graders love it!

It could be used as a great review site or extra credit work. The best part of all is students provide a service to needy people by improving their learning. Try the site yourself! It is addictive! Janice
