Name Wheel

Paste a list of names, one per line, and spin to pick one person at random. Turn on "Remove the winner" so the same name isn't picked twice.

Wheel with 8 entries: Ava, Liam, Noah, Emma, Olivia, Mason, Sophia, Lucas

Entries

8

One entry per line. Paste a whole list — up to 1,000.

Remove the winner after each spin

How to use the name wheel

  1. 1Paste the names: Copy a column from a spreadsheet or class roster and paste it — each line becomes a slice.
  2. 2Spin: Everyone watches the wheel land, so nobody can say the pick was unfair.
  3. 3Keep going: With "Remove the winner" on, each picked name leaves the wheel until everyone has had a turn.

Ways people use a name wheel

  • Classroom: pick who answers next or who presents first.

  • Secret Santa and gift swaps: draw names one at a time.
  • Game night: decide who goes first.

Tips for long lists

The wheel holds up to 1,000 names. Past 100 names, labels get short, so use full screen on a projector. Use Remove duplicates if your list was pasted from more than one place.
