Why use a random object wheel

Thirty everyday objects are on the wheel, the kind found at home or at school, each with the same chance. Spin one and draw it, act it out, hunt for it or build a story around it.

Draw the object in one minute
Spin, set a timer and draw the object from memory, then compare drawings.
Find the object first
Spin and race to find the object, or something that looks like it, around the house or the classroom.
Act out the object
One player spins, then mimes using the object while the others guess.
Write a story about the object
Students spin an object and write a short story where it plays the main part.

This wheel wears the Wheel-ementary theme: crayons on a chalkboard, push pins and a gold-star arrow. Your own copy keeps it, or pick another wheel theme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add objects from our room?

Yes. Click “Create your own object picker” to save a copy, then type in things your group can see or find.

Is the wheel really random?

Yes. Every entry has a slice of the same size, and where the wheel stops is picked with your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), so nobody can predict or rig the result.

Can I change the entries on this wheel?

Yes. Click “Create your own object picker” to save your own copy. You can then add, remove or rename entries, change the theme and spin settings, and share or embed your wheel.
