FreeRice.com
Thanks to Robyn Bradley for showing me the site FreeRice.com, where you play a never-ending vocabulary game that, thanks to the advertising at the bottom, donates rice to UN hunger efforts.
For a vocab nut like me, this is pretty addictive - and I also like the pretty bamboo bowl that fills with rice as you play. I'm putting a banner link to it on this blog as soon as I figure out how to not break the template by doing so.
If you're bored at work or studying for the SAT/ACT/PSAT/GRE/etc., it's a great little site!

Oh, I have donated 120 grains!!! In only a minute or two! Love it.
Donated 250 grains but apparently my vocabulary isn't as large as I would like it to be. had to quit 'cause i was feeling pretty dumb! Great time spender and a good idea by some brain-iac. Thank for the link!!!!
I'm at level 49 now but struggling to hang on to that. Seems when i hit 49 the words get so hard i can't get them right.
I have this screen up on my Firefox all day - it's great to do a couple of words when I'm waiting for another screen to load.
The girls at TPR have been playing it as well... and apparently there are several groups on facebook about freerice.com... what a cool thing. I'll totally look at their advertisements while i play the game :)
