Ok, so maybe you shouldn\u2019t be procrastinating during exams right now, but just in
\ncase you need a quick study break, I happen to know about a few sites\u2026<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing like an addictive game that expands your vocabulary AND helps put food on someone\u2019s plate. When you correctly choose the correct definition of a word, 10 grains of rice are donated to the World Food Programme to help end world hunger.

Think you know your geography? Guess again! This is an awesome game that gives you a 5 minute vacation around the world, without the costly baggage fees or the need to leave your desk. Hint: check which side of the road cars are driving on, and the language the street signs are written in for clues about where you are!<\/p>\n
