Sematris is a fun word game that is a vocabulary version of tetris. In this version instead of shapes you have words that fall from the top. You then need to eliminate words by typing in a word or phrase that best identifies that particular word, without using the actual word in your clue. Google's AI then tries to guess which word you meant and removes that block, along with any same colored blocks touching it. As the game goes on the falling words become more similar. Great for EL students (higher level) and for teaching students about AI. It's a great introduction and example of AI.
This is a fun game to help students expand their vocabulary, while working on selecting precise words and phrases to best define a word.
