Spin the wheel — fair turns, no arguments.

How it works
From dock to first spin in thirty seconds
No setup screen, no import wizard. The wheel lives on the same board as everything else — here's the whole routine.
2
Choose wheel or slot machine
Spin a colour wheel or roll a slot-machine reel. Both come with sounds, confetti and a suspense setting.
Spin
The winner lands front and centre. With remove-after-pick on, they're out of the pool until everyone's been up.
Classroom ideas
More than cold-calling
Three ways teachers actually use the wheel — beyond picking who answers question four.
Classroom jobs, renewed weekly
Monday morning: one spin per job. Remove-after-pick keeps it fair, and 'line leader' stops being a negotiation.
Story builder
Spin a name, they add one sentence to the class story, spin again. The wheel keeps everyone listening.
Load it with rewards
Fill the wheel with prizes — extra recess, teacher reads in a silly voice — and let Friday's champion spin it.
Fair by design
Nobody argues with the wheel.
The fairness isn't a vibe — it's settings. The wheel remembers who's been up, keeps quiet exceptions quiet, and resets the moment you need it to.
- Remove-after-pick — no repeats until everyone's had a turn
- Exclude a student quietly, without deleting them
- Names save with the board — set it up once, spin all year

FAQ
Good to know
Can it avoid picking the same student twice?
Yes — remove-after-pick takes each winner out of the pool until the list is used up, then you reset with one tap.
Wheel or slot machine?
Your call. The wheel spins with a satisfying tick; the slot machine rolls to a stop. Swap styles any time in settings.
Can I make the suspense last longer?
Yes — set the spin time, or turn on slow spin for maximum drama. Sounds and confetti are toggles too.
Can I keep certain students out of a spin?
Yes — exclude anyone from the pool without deleting them. Handy when someone's away or already had a big job today.
Do I need an account to try it?
No — no login, no install. Your names and board save on this device; an account is only for keeping boards across devices.
