Free Rice

James has sent me the link to a very compulsive game called Free Rice.

The aim is to choose the answer that best describes the word they give you. I suppose that you could call it a thesaurus word game. For example, they give you the word

central

you then choose your answer from the following list

terrible
speedy
unhappy
middle

When you click on the correct answer you are automatically donating grains of rice that will be sent to countries that need it by the United Nations . The rice bowl at the side of the screen shows just how much your game has generated in rice, very clever. The donations are paid for by the sponsoring advertisers on the site, so it doesn't cost you a thing.

The fun part is watching your word level grow or fall depending on your answers. There are 50 levels to aim for I'm at 41, not sure how good that is maybe you can do better!
