Why use a random US state wheel

All 50 states are already on the wheel, each with the same chance, so there is no list to type. Hide each winner to give every student a different state.

Hand out states for class reports
Teachers can spin a state for each student and hide each winner, so no two reports are on the same state.
Quiz the class on state capitals
Spin a state and ask for its capital, its region or a state that borders it, a quick review before a test.
Spin the next state for a road trip
Families and travelers can spin for a state to visit, or one to learn three facts about before the trip.
Ask a state trivia question at game night
Game night hosts can spin a state and ask for its nickname, its largest city or a famous landmark.

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

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 “Pick your states” 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.
