I have been looking online and have found many restaurants that give free dinners to children under a certain age, but I don't understand it.  Smaller children don't eat a whole lot and their meals do not cost as much as older children.  I would love to see restaurants offer discounted entrees for older children. For example, if we go to a fast food restaurant it normally will cost us around $30.00, but if we were to go to a sit down restaurant it would be upwards of $60.00 easily.  I cannot justify that when we, as most families, are on a budget.  However, we would love to be able to enjoy a night out with all the kids, but it just isn't feasible in this economy. I know everyone is not in the same predicament, although I just feel it's a bit of a disservice to those of us who do have larger families.  With this in mind does the restaurant industry realize there is more money to be made by offering a discount to teenagers rather than smaller children?  ...

After finding the Rice Game I did a Google search and found the following "click to give" sites! I clicked to help, but I had no idea they had such nice shops to purchase from.  The Hunger Site   The Child Health Site The Breast Cancer Site The Literacy Site The Rain Forest Site The Ecology Fund The Animal Rescue Site Pick a charity and click to give $2.00: http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo-charity-giveaway There are a quite a few click to gives on this website: http://www.care2.com/click-to-donate/

For each question you get correct you earn 10 grains of rice, so let's say that you get 5 answers correct  you will earn 50 grains of rice and it continues as you keep answering the questions correctly.  I played this game and earned 360 grains of rice when I stopped to blog about this site.  I believe that this is an exceptional site for anyone who would like to help others who may be less fortunate, but also for the person playing the game since they will also benefit from playing.  As you will see the more you play the more you learn which will help with SATs, school, work, writing, etc.  Sponsors of the website pay for your donated rice.   To take a look click on the following link: http://www.freerice.com/index.php
