Random object generator wheel v0.2.0
40 entries
Hide a note behind a slice with a bar: cat | a small furry pet. It shows after the spin. Start a line with an emoji to draw it big. Two columns pasted from a spreadsheet work too.
Who's away today?
Tap anyone who is away. Their slice is hatched and skipped today only; at midnight they are back. Nobody is deleted.
Drag the wheel round and let go to flick it. Your flick sets the show. The draw is already fair: your browser's secure random generator picks the winner before the wheel moves.
Space spin, or stop sooner · R new round · M sound on or off · F full screen · Esc leave it

Forty everyday objects on one wheel, from a kite to a robot: spin for a drawing prompt, a story starter or an object for a guessing game.

How to use it
- The wheel already holds 40 entries for “Random object wheel”. Edit, add or delete lines in the box and it redraws; your changes stay in this browser.
- Tap the wheel, press Space, or drag it and let go to flick it. The winner is drawn first with your browser's secure random generator; the pegs, the clicks and the big reveal only show it.
- Choose Fade the winner or Remove the winner to use every entry once, or Keep everyone in for repeats. “Original list” brings back the starting entries, and Print makes a paper spinner of the list.
Ideas for class
- Spin an object and draw it in a minute, then add a surprise: give it eyes, wings or wheels and say what it does.
- Use the object as a story starter: ask where it was found, who lost it and what happens when someone picks it up.
- Play twenty questions: one child spins in secret and the class asks yes or no questions to guess the object.
- Describe it without naming it: a child spins and tells the class what the object looks like, feels like and does, with no naming.
- Run an invention challenge: spin twice and ask pairs to join the two objects into one new invention, then draw and name it.

What kinds of objects are on the wheel?
Forty everyday things, such as a pencil, a kite, a lantern, a drum, a robot and a tent. They are all safe, familiar objects that children can picture and draw.
Can I add my own objects?
Yes. Add lines to the box and the wheel redraws. You can use it for vocabulary, science tools or things from a story, and your changes stay in this browser.
How can I spin two objects at once?
