About the Classroom Name Picker wheel
A random name picker keeps the classroom fair. Students stop worrying about being picked too often or skipped, because the wheel decides in front of everyone. Each name on the list gets the same size slice.
Teachers can remove a name after it wins, so everyone gets a turn before the list resets. Add the class roster once and it stays saved in this browser, so you do not have to type it again next lesson.
How to use the Classroom Name Picker
Paste the class list
Type or paste one student name per line.
Spin to pick a student
Press Spin and call out the winning name.
Remove and rotate
Remove each name after it is picked, so everyone gets a turn before you reset the list.
Frequently asked questions
Can I paste a whole class list?
Yes. Paste names one per line from a spreadsheet or document, and the wheel reads each line as one name.
Is it fair to students who are picked later?
Yes. The remaining names get the same size slice on each spin, and removing names gives everyone a turn.
Are student names stored online?
No. The list is saved only in this browser on this device, and nothing is uploaded to a server.
Can I use it for groups?
Yes. Add team names instead of student names to choose a group for the next activity.
