How to use it

When to Spin a Question

  • Morning meeting or circle time: spin an icebreaker and go round the circle.
  • End of lesson: spin a reflection question for an exit ticket or plenary.
  • Partner talk: spin once and give pairs one minute each.
  • Guided reading: spin a book talk question for any story.

Two wheels together

Pick the Question and the Person

Use this wheel to choose the question and the random name picker to choose who answers, with no repeats on, so every student gets a turn. Ask the question first and give thinking time before you pick a name.

Can students pass?

Yes, and they should be able to. Offer “pass” or “phone a friend” so the wheel never puts anyone on the spot.
