Wheel Of Names

Wheel of Names

Can’t decide who should go first, which activity to choose, or what name should be selected next? Wheel of Names is a fun and easy-to-use random name picker that lets you enter your own choices, spin a colorful wheel, and instantly receive a random result.

The game begins with a selection of popular fictional and pop culture character names, but you can quickly replace them with your own names, words, activities, prizes, challenges, or ideas. Simply edit the list, press the spin button, and watch as the wheel rotates before slowly coming to a stop on one randomly selected entry.

Once a name has been chosen, you can keep it on the wheel and spin again or remove the selected name before continuing. This makes Wheel of Names ideal for games, classroom activities, giveaways, group decisions, party challenges, team selection, and any situation where you need a fair and entertaining way to make a choice.

Create Your Own Custom Spinning Wheel

Wheel of Names is fully customizable. Add one option per line and the wheel will automatically update to match your list. You can enter people’s names, numbers, questions, rewards, tasks, foods, destinations, or almost anything else you want.

There is no complicated setup. You can add, remove, or rearrange entries directly from the editable names list. The wheel adjusts automatically, creating an equal segment for every option.

Duplicate entries are also supported, allowing you to give certain choices a greater chance of being selected by adding them to the list more than once.

Perfect for Teachers and Classrooms

Teachers can use Wheel of Names as an interactive classroom tool. Add the names of students and spin the wheel to choose who will answer a question, read aloud, join an activity, or lead a group.

You can also replace student names with subjects, vocabulary words, math problems, writing prompts, discussion topics, or educational challenges. The colorful animation helps turn ordinary classroom decisions into engaging activities.

After a student is selected, remove their name to ensure everyone gets a turn, or keep the name on the wheel when repeat selections are allowed.

Great for Parties, Games, and Giveaways

Wheel of Names is also a useful party game and giveaway picker. Enter the names of all participants, spin the wheel, and reveal the randomly selected winner.

For multiple prizes or several rounds, remove each winner and continue spinning until every prize has been awarded. You can also add party challenges, dares, trivia categories, or mini-games instead of names.

The suspense of watching the wheel slow down makes every result feel more exciting than pressing a basic random selection button.
