Freerice.com




Freerice is a charitable and free-to-play online game website, which helps the players to donate through the 'World Food Programme' (WFP) to the needy. The popular website www.freerice.com has launched in 2007 by John Breen, a computer programmer. It is a site to play and explore the English vocabulary, grammar, multiple-choice question, and some other subjects. 10 grains will donate for every correctly defined word to the hungry. WFP uses the donations from site to purchase rice locally for both feeding people in need and stimulating local economies.




Though it is a great website for students to improve and enrich their vocabulary. Students from 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.

FreeRice: A Game That Fights Hunger ðŸ˜Š


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

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

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.
Most students love the competitive aspect.


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.
