Spin The Wheel to Pick a Random Choice

Ready-Made Spinner Wheels

In addition to creating your own custom spinner wheel, you can also choose from these ready-made wheels. Each one includes a pre-set list of items, allowing you to quickly generate a random selection for games, activities, or decision-making during your lessons.

How To Use

Step 1: Choose “Custom” or “Pre-made”

Pick a ready-made list by topic, or start fresh and enter your own custom words or phrases.

Step 2: Enter or edit your list (one per line)

If you chose a pre-made list, you can edit it to suit your class. If you’re entering your own, just type one entry per line — these can be single words, names, full sentences, or anything you like.

Step 3: Click “Create Wheel”

Once your list is ready, click the button to generate your spinning wheel.

Step 4: Click “Spin”

The wheel will spin and randomly select one item from your list.

Step 5: Choose whether to remove the selected item or spin again

After each spin, you can decide to either keep the selected item on the wheel or remove it. Removing the item is especially useful for activities like bingo or classroom games where you don’t want the same option to be picked more than once.

Suggested Ways to Use This Tool

This customizable picker wheel is a flexible tool that can be used in lots of different ways throughout your lessons. Here are some of our favorite ways to use this tool in class.

Random Name Picker

Add student names to the wheel and use it to randomly choose someone to answer a question, take a turn, or participate in an activity. This helps keep the selection process fair and encourages participation from all students.

Play Bingo

Use the wheel to call out words or numbers during a game of bingo. Add your bingo items to the wheel and remove each one as it’s selected. You can create bingo cards to match your word list using our Bingo Sheet Maker Tool, and then use this spinning wheel to run the game.

Question / Prompt Selector

Add a list of questions or prompts to the wheel. These could be conversation starters, speaking prompts, writing tasks, or review questions. Spin the wheel to randomly choose a prompt for a student or the whole class to respond to. This is especially useful in ESL classes or for warm-up activities.

Reward Picker

Use the wheel to choose a classroom reward when students meet a goal or demonstrate positive behaviour. Add a list of rewards like “no homework,” “choose the next activity,” “5-minute break,” or “play a game,” and let the wheel decide. This can make classroom management more engaging and add a small element of fun when celebrating achievements.

Point Selector

Add point values to the wheel and use it to randomly decide how many points to award in a game or quiz. This can add an element of surprise to classroom competitions and make review activities more engaging.
