Prize Wheel
List your prizes, spin the wheel, and the prize wheel picks one at random. Your browser's secure random tool picks the result before the wheel moves, so every prize on the wheel has the same chance.
A wheel of prizes works for classrooms, parties, fundraisers and family game nights.
How to Use the Wheel of Prizes
- Write your prizes. The wheel starts with 12. The Quick lists menu also has Classroom prizes and Party prizes. Put one prize on each line. Add some "no prize" or "try again" slices if you want a challenge.
- Decide who spins and in what order.
- Spin. The wheel lands on a prize.
- Give the prize. If you only have one, turn on elimination mode so it is removed after it wins.
Prize Wheel Spinner: How to Build a Good One
A good prize wheel has a mix.
- Small, frequent prizes. A sticker, a piece of candy or extra break time. Put these on several slices so players win something most of the time.
- A few medium prizes. First choice of a game or a small toy.
- One big prize. Give it one slice only. Rare is exciting.
- A funny slice. "Sing a song" or "do a silly dance". People love these.
- Safe for all. Keep prizes suitable for every player, and check for food allergies.
You control the odds by how many slices each prize gets. Three of ten slices for stickers is a 30% chance. One slice of ten for the big prize is 10%.
Spinning Prize Wheel for the Classroom
A spinning prize wheel motivates students. Let them earn a spin for effort, kindness or teamwork, not just top marks. Prize ideas:
- Choose the next song or game
- Sit in the teacher's chair for a lesson
- Skip one small task
- Lead the class line
- Extra reading time with a friend
- A certificate or sticker
Be clear about what earns a spin, and make sure every student can earn one.

Wheel of Prizes vs Raffle
A prize wheel gives instant prizes, one spin at a time. A raffle draws winners from tickets at the end. For tickets and several prizes, use the raffle wheel. For one giveaway winner from a list of entrants, use the giveaway picker.
Fairness
The wheel is not rigged. Every slice has an equal chance. If you put a prize on more slices, it comes up more often, so tell players that. For real prize draws with money or entry fees, check the law where you live. Read How it works to see how the draw is made.
