Hey, it used to be 10 grains of rice!

Enough folks played it that new sponsors signed on, so they were able to raise it to 20 grains of rice. Keep playing! Make it popular! The more we play, the more sponsors will think freerice is a site they should be on! More sponsors means more rice per try, which makes it worth playing more, which gets more sponsors' interest........
(Finally, "a vicious circle" that isn't vicious! )


Old poem-

"Little drops of water,
tiny grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
and the pleasant land"

Granny:hippy: (who did her 10,000 grains today)
Storm Crow Reviewed by Storm Crow on . freerice.com I work in a school and recently my teacher, looking for ways to encourage better vocabulary, stumbled on freerice.com. When you are bored, depressed, or just have a few minutes to spare, play the game! It is a very simple vocabulary game. Every time you guess right, 20 grains of rice are donated to the UN. There is no penalty for a wrong guess. One bowl (100 grains) at a time, it adds up. CNN had an article on this site. My Special Ed class donated 32,100 grains of rice yesterday. My Rating: 5
