Games and Gaming #35: Games? In the Library?

I played FreeRice, a crossword puzzle on the Chronicles website, and a few of the games on PBS kids. By far, my favorite was FreeRice. It was easy to learn and it really helps build vocabulary. When you miss a word it will eventually repeat giving you a chance to reinforce the definition in your mind. Sometimes it got a little annoying only because when I finally made it to a slightly difficult level, I would miss a word and then miss the next one or two knocking me back down several levels. It's great for learning vocabulary though and, of course, you help the world by donating free rice!
