Freerice.com

Freerice is an ad-supported, charitable and free-to-play onine game website which helps to players to donate 'World Food Programme'(WFP) to the needy. 10 grains will donate for every correctly defined word to the hungry. WFP uses the donations from site to purchase rice locally,  both feeding people in need and stimulating local economies.


 It is a great website for students to improve and enrich their vocabulary. Students at all different learning levels can play successfully.


The fact that the vocabulary is often repeated is a very good way to raise their self-confidence and revise.





































Apart from the game factor, raising awareness for problems like hunger and discovering the solution of using the site of freerice.com is a great advantage.


At first, it needs sign up activity to register for users - 





Then users can access it thoroughly. The available subjects include English vocabulary (the original subject with which the game launched), multiplication tables, pre-algebra, chemical symbols (basic and intermediate), English grammar, SAT, foreign language vocabulary for English speakers (French, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish), human anatomy, geography (flags of the world, world capitals, country identification, and world landmarks), the identification of famous artwork, literature, quotations, and world hunger.


Most students love the competitive aspect. Every week users' total score is updated as how many grains they earned & the mound of rice and recorded it carefully. This website also allows creating groups to track the total donations of group players. Top group scores are displayed on a scoreboard.

                                                                                       


The gaming nature of it is very engaging, especially for self-directed competitive students. It is easy to use. Anytime they can change the subject matter, game level at different languages. The FAQ option includes the recent facts and the rules for users that how can play it and all other information about it. 

   


This website is connected with several social networks like facebook page, blog, twitter, pinterest and so on.
Freerice donated over 42 billion grains of rice. It gets several awards for outstanding contribution. Monthly count of donated rice makes it trustworthy. Freerice.com is not only fun, but it also helps people. It is a great way to show students how they can be good global citizens.
