Help with world hunger and test your vocabulary! Build your word awareness! Amuse yourself! Challenge your students! Help feed the poor! How literate are you? Open the swiftly closing American mind. Just click the link highlighted below and play. This is supercool. I have been using this game as a five or ten minute warm-up for English class. Students have a lot of fun and I think it is genuinely useful for expanding vocabulary and drawing attention to the wonder of words.  Now be sure to try the grammar game and the art history game as well.   I also like to challenge students to think about how this site is a win/win/win for everybody concerned. Students get to play a game and improve their vocabulary, poor people get fed and advertisers get to promote their businesses.
