5 Fun Ways to Use a Picker Wheel in the Classroom

Make Learning Interactive!

Engage your students like never before with a random picker wheel. It's a fantastic tool for making classroom activities more dynamic and fun.

Classroom with students

1. Student Selector

End the "who goes first?" debate. Use the wheel for calling on students, creating groups, or choosing a line leader. It's fair and transparent!

2. Vocabulary Game

Fill the wheel with vocabulary words. Spin it, and the chosen student has to define the word, use it in a sentence, or act it out.

3. Story Prompts

Spark creativity! Load a wheel with characters, settings, and plot points (e.g., "A brave knight," "in a spooky castle," "finds a secret map"). Spin for each category and have students write a story.

4. Review Questions

Make exam reviews exciting. Put topics or question numbers on the wheel. Spin to select a question for the class to answer together.

5. Reward Wheel

Motivate students with a prize wheel. Fill it with simple rewards like "5 extra minutes of free time," "Sit with a friend," or "Choose the music."
