Feed the hungry and increase your vocabulary at the same time
my kids have been really having fun with this www.freerice.com I had one student that asked "what do I get out of this" I said "increased vocabulary and the satisfaction that you are helping world hunger"

2. I did 3000+ last week, stopped keeping track as I played more, shorter ones
It was fun, and I passed the link around, too. Pretty cool.

And that's awesome about your kids, that they're so enthused by it, they're going to gobble up all those words they're looking up! :)

5. That's cool. I just donated 210 grains of rice pretty quickly.
But it's late, I'm tired, and I have to go to bed now. But I did bookmark the page for later use. That could get addictive.
