Learn Geography and Help Those in Need
Sep 14th, 2008 by Alicia
The folks behind FreeRice have come up with a fun online geography game that donates clean drinking water to people in need the more you play!
The name of a place is displayed above a map and the object is to click on the map as close to the location of that place as possible. You earn 10 cups of water if you’re right on the button but even if you’re off a bit you still earn some water if you’re close. If you play long enough the locations are reused at random so it does help you learn, too.
Whenever you get a correct answer, the charity donates clean, safe drinking water to people in need, and it doesn’t cost anything to play, so everyone wins.
