Free Rice
Free Rice is a charitable organization that has a vocabulary game on the main page of its website. You will be given vocabulary word, and have to select the definition. For each correct word your get, Free Rice will donate 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. Rice is a main staple, and sometimes the only staple for many people in poor and developing countries.
Just thinking about the recent events over rice in Haiti alone, and the droughts in Australia, are enough to make me want to donate daily by playing. I just donated 100 grains. It is totally free. You don't have to provide any information or sign up for anything. Too good to be true right? It's true. Play the game, and you give to a needy person as a result. Plus you might learn a few new vocabulary words. You can play as often as you wish.
