I am a Gamer, but I never played a game that would help end world hunger, not virtually, but
IRL (in real life)
What a great way to have fun, be educated, be aware, and play for the good of mankind!
FreeRice helps you on your vocabulary while helping stop world hunger by donating 10 grains of rice by each correct answer. Founded by a computer programmer John Breen, this website is now being run by United Nations World Food Programme after it is been donated.
You can start your battle here:
It is a web-based application that lets you answer the question given by simply choosing one on the given choices, one correct answer makes you a donor of 10 grains of rice and makes the question even challenging. An incorrect one, let's you answer for more but will have easier query.
You can also change the subject to make it more interesting:
You may ask where do they get the money to pay for the donated rice?
-It is paid through sponsorship that supports the website advocacy.
Where does the rice go?
-It is being distributed to countries that's part of UN World Food Programme
If you are a teacher, a school, an organization, a club, etc.
You can create your group by:
- Registering yourself
- Go to: Create a Group
- Fill in the required information
- Select a, "Membership Request" (Open or Invite only)
- Choose your preferred subjects
- Click, CREATE
Go to your group profile and click, "Edit" then "GET INVITE LINK" above your members list.
You should also register each of your members to have a login username and password (If you are a teacher or a school, you can register up to 40 students if you register them as u/14 years of age). Give them the link to your group, and let them "Join".
What I love about this site is that it makes you aware and gets you involved on helping others, it's a social network site where you can sign-up and check your ranking, join or create a group, keep track of your playing experience, and learn your way through giving and playing. You can also link your Facebook and Twitter account to find friends that are already joined-in or invite them, to share this wonderful campaign.

wow.. this is outstanding.. you are already having fun, you are learning and at the same time you are helping the people who doesn't have the capability to eat 3 times a day..
this is something, you get to play and at the same time share something with advocacy.
wow, this is awsome
This would be a nice game. I would like to try it out. By doing so, we can be educated and also help. :) two birds hits by one stone.
i'm playing this too. i must say that it's not only donating rice. admit it, it's addictive too... great concept
Havent tried this but I have an account there already. Maybe I will be playing one of this day and see how things go. Good job.
This kind of activity game is really great... especially when you know your effort has a purpose, not for yourself but for others as well! Very interesting.
This is a Fun way to contribute to world food security!
Interesting game and for a good cause too
This one got a noble cause. I like it. If all games are intended to a purpose like this, the world could have been different.
This is such a cool concept! I used to teach high school web design and the kids used to love this game. At the same time they were supposedly helping out someone that needs rice and food. Thanks for sharing!

I found this site about 12-18 months ago and have spent hours on it with the wifey and parents. I love it and will pass it on again! - Peter
I've spent sometime with the site a few months back and I love it. I wanted to share about the experience too but I was too busy, haha. Glad you did!
I will definitely check this out. Maybe I can use this for my tutorial students. Thanks for sharing!
@all
