Win at Scrabble, Feed the World: FreeRice.com
FreeRice.com features a simple vocabulary game, where you're given a word and a choice of 4 possible synonyms. The words start off easy – snobbish, for example – but eventually progress into more obscure territory, like odium, which means "hatred" (we missed that one). There's no scoring and no penalty for wrong answers, but for every answer you get right, the site's advertisers will donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program on your behalf.

I hope this site is legit and that rice will really be donated.
I just tried it and it was fun.
There was a sort of a score. I was told that my Vocabulary Level is 41, and that my Best Level is 45.
And, by the way, supposedly I got enough right answers to have 1700 grains of rice donated.
