Free Rice is a free, online game run by the United Nations World Food Program. It is a trivia game that rewards the player with 10 grains of rice for each question answered correctly. Then, the cumulative amount of rice in your bowl is donated to countries in need, paid for by the sponsors who advertise on the website. The trivia questions can be appropriate for children and teens because the levels start easy and progress to difficult with each right answer.
There are a variety of trivia questions that a player can choose from: the default is English vocabulary but you can change it by clicking the "subjects" button at the top of the page. Not all subjects are appropriate for all ages. Here is my assessment of which subjects may be appropriate for children and teens:
Subjects for all ages: English grammar, English vocabulary
Subjects for children (grade 6 or lower): basic math, multiplication table,
Subjects for teens (grade 7 and higher): famous paintings, chemical symbols, identifying countries, world capitals, French, German, Italian, Spanish
This game connects education with kindness. Children and teen players should know that their efforts are helping to feed people around the world. Links on the website provide more information about food programs.
