Education wheel templates
Every teacher has a version of this moment: you need to pick someone, and whoever you pick, somebody thinks it wasn’t fair. These templates exist for that moment. Each one is a prebuilt spinner wheel for a common classroom job — cold-calling on students, choosing the day’s helper, picking the next review-game category — loaded with sample entries so you can see how it works before you commit to anything.
To use one, open it, replace the sample names with your real roster or topics, and spin. Your edits save automatically in your browser, so “Period 3’s wheel” is still there tomorrow; nothing requires an account, and your saved wheels stay in your browser. A common setup is one wheel per class period with “Remove winner after spin” turned on, so everyone gets a turn before anyone repeats.
The templates below are starting points, not the whole toolkit. If you want a picker built specifically around calling on students — with the remove-winner rotation explained step by step — see the random student picker. For the broader classroom setup (projecting on a smartboard, managing several class lists), the classroom spin wheel guide covers it, and the quiz wheel turns the same idea into a full review game.
Templates (3)
- Classroom name pickerA 26-name sample roster for fair cold-calls. Swap in your class list, enable ‘Remove winner’, and every student gets called exactly once per round.
- Review game categoriesEight quiz categories (Math, History, Science…) to spin between review questions. Replace them with your actual unit topics and the suspense does the engagement work for you.
- Helper of the dayA small-roster wheel for line leader, plant waterer, or paper passer. Younger classes especially trust the wheel’s verdict more than the teacher’s.
