Updated: January 14, 2026

  • Enter each student’s name into the wheel.
  • Display the wheel so the selection process is visible.
  • Spin the wheel to choose a student at random.
  • Use it for answering questions, sharing work, or choosing helpers.
  • Decide whether names are removed after selection or allowed to repeat.
  • Set expectations so selection feels positive rather than punitive.
