A huge list of enjoyable vocabulary quizzes here, although be aware that they're not DR Spanish based, so there are some regional variations.

I did the vegetables one and it included several, like col - cabbage (DR - repollo) that are not used in the DR. I got two wrong.

Curly endives and kale, anyone?
