F R E E R I C E   // Online Games Freerice is a 100% non-profit website that is owned by and supports the United Nations World Food Programme. It is another quiz-style game that helps you improve your vocabulary skills. Instead of answering word problems, you’re given a vocabulary word and then have to find its closest synonym out of four different words. The game starts out easy, but with 60 levels in total, it gets much harder as you go along.  What really makes Freerice different than other online games to practice English is that the company will donate 10 grains of rice to hungry families for every question that you answer right. So the more you play, the more you’re helping those in need.  Benefits in teaching:  A storehouse of information and relevant quizzes, Free Rice can be a way to yank kids into a variety of topics. The World Hunger category in particular could inspire kids to do more in-depth research. You could use the questions as jumping-off points
