More Words

While discussing our favourite words (sad, I know), a friend told me about a great website called Free Rice. It's a vocabulary quiz where for each word you get right, they donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program.

This site works for me on so many levels:
  1. It's fun.
  2. Hungry people get food.
  3. It tells me how smart I am.
  4. I can show others how smart I am.
  5. It teaches me new words.
  6. I feel socially responsible and morally superior.

Try it!

I recently got my level up to 48. My Year 8 students are all now hooked. One of their mothers reached 50 and they are now all in awe of her. It's great to see kids having fun, learning and doing something worthwhile...all at once!
