Free Rice

Some of you may be familiar with the Free Rice game site that donates 10 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program for every correct vocabulary definition.

There is an expanded version of Free Rice which has games on various topics including famous paintings, chemical symbols, English grammar, identifying countries on the map, world capitals, language learning (including French, German, Italian, and Spanish) basic math (pre-algebra), and multiplication tables.
