Exam Revision + feed the world: freerice.com

[Chris P]

Freerice.com has become an Internet sensation since its launch in the USA in September 2007.

It's a brilliant and fun way for children and adults to improve their vocabulary, geography, chemistry, foreign languages, mathematics, and knowledge of art (click on "New Subjects" at top right of question board). Every time you get an answer right, you help combat world-hunger.

Play it at home, in school ... and at work if you get the chance!

WARNING! It's addictive!

[julfren]

What an addictive game! I have tried the paintings, Eng vocab, grammar. It is certainly educational. No need ever to be bored with that website around. I drag myself away from it after I begin to feel like an icicle from sitting in the one spot for so long!

Hi ChrisP, just noticed this post today and went into the site. I found it absolutely brilliant. The kids thought it was great too. It's educational as well as beneficial to 3rd World countries. My eldest son is in first year and found the French questions very helpful as this is his first year doing French. Well done for finding this good fun for all the family.

Thanks for the feedback, Moeby.

And you're right! It's a very useful website and a fun way to test yourself and also to get the kids to brush up on their lessons.

Exam-time is almost upon us so I thought I'd give this thread a bump.
Good luck to all students!

The following is a prayer for exams which I have always found brilliant, and as all the exams are coming up someone might be glad of it.

Oh! St. Joseph who did'st obtain from God
The grace to be asked at your exam
the only question you know.
Obtain for me a success like thine
in the exam I am now preparing for
In return I promise to cause you
to be known and invoked.

[sue]

thank you I will pass this onto my daughter who is doing her midwifery exams.......regards sue

[JMMB]
