Spin the Wheel is a free-to-try random name picker and decision wheel for the classroom, and an alternative to Wheel of Names. Type or paste anything onto the wheel — pupils' names, or any set of choices — or load a saved class, then spin to pick fairly. It ticks as it spins, plays a fanfare with confetti on the winner, and you can remove each pick so you go round the whole class without repeats. Need to split a class into groups instead? Try Groupings.
Spin the Wheel doubles as a decision wheel for a hundred little classroom moments. Use a ready-made wheel for Yes / No / Maybe, a reward (five minutes free time, no homework, pick the music), a brain-break activity, a dice roll, heads or tails, or turn order — or type your own.
Is Spin the Wheel free?
Yes — it's free to try. You can type or paste entries and spin, or sign in to load your saved class lists instantly.
Can I spin for things other than names?
Yes — type or paste anything, or use a ready-made wheel like Yes/No, a reward wheel, a brain-break wheel, dice or turn order.
Can it avoid picking the same pupil twice?
Yes — turn on Remove after pick and each winner drops off the wheel, so you can go round the whole class fairly.
Does it make a sound?
Yes — a ticking sound as it spins and a fanfare on the winner, with confetti. You can mute it with the Sound toggle.
Can I pick more than one at a time?
Yes — set how many to pick per spin (up to four) to choose a pair or a small group at once.
