freerice.com

I first shared this site a few years ago on my 360 blog. I love words and enjoyed testing my vocabulary and helping others at the same time. After visiting the site a few times, though, I forgot about it.

I was reminded of it recently while thinking up ways for my daughter to practice for a standardized test. She’s the one who informed me that the site wasn't just for vocabulary. It also includes areas in art, chemistry, grammar, geography, language learning and math!

I’ve just spent the last half hour “playing”. Wasted time? Maybe. I prefer to think of it as a way to help others while stimulating my brain at the same time.


Test yourself here!

That's cool, Kelly. It started out easy, but got pretty hard there quick. I had to quit at 100 grains of rice because I was feeling really stupid!!! LOL! Must get out my old word-a-day book and study vocabulary. Thanks for posting this. It's a great cause. Blessings!
