Using Entries, Results and Settings

Entries: set up the round

Use the controls available for this tool to edit choices, set a range or choose game rules. Review prompts and repeat settings before spinning. The Sound effects switch is below these controls.

Results: review your history

Read previous selections, newest first, and use Clear history when you want an empty list. This leaves the active choices and no-repeat pool intact.

Settings: choose the look and sound

Choose a wheel theme, select a winning sound and preview it. The Sound effects switch here stays synchronized with Entries. Colors and sounds do not change selection odds.

Wheel controls FAQ

Where can I find or clear previous results?

Open Results to see the newest selections first. Clear history removes that list; it does not restore removed winners or reset a no-repeat round. Use the tool’s reset control when you want to start a new round.

How do I change colors or turn sound off?

Open Settings to choose a theme and winning sound. Sound effects is also available in Entries; both switches control the same setting. Turning sound off mutes wheel clicks and the winning sound. Choosing No winning sound only mutes the celebration. Your sound preference is remembered for this English tool in this browser when browser storage is available.

Do themes change the chance of winning?

No. Themes only change appearance. Two-outcome wheels use two colors and three-outcome wheels use three. Repeated labels share a color in the selected theme. Entries, repeated slices and any weights still determine the odds.

How does the optional player tracker work?

In Entries, enable Track turns and completed rounds below Sound effects, then add up to 30 unique nicknames. A message explains any duplicate nicknames or names beyond the limit that are left out. Completed records a round and advances; Pass records a skip and advances. Pick random player changes the turn without recording a round. Reset rounds clears the counts. Spins do not advance the tracker automatically, and tracker data clears on refresh.

Set up your round

Replace student placeholders with your actual roster. Adapt activities to learners’ ages and access needs. Remove winners for a round where each entry should be chosen once.

  1. 1. Review the list. Keep only choices you want included. Repeated lines give that choice more chances.
  2. 2. Choose a repeat rule. Keep entries for independent spins, or remove each winner for a no-repeat round.
  3. 3. Spin and review. Read the result and open Results to check your selection order. A single remaining entry can be selected directly.

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit the template?

Yes. Add, remove or replace choices in the editor before spinning. Each line is an entry with an equal chance.

Can I avoid repeats?

Enable Remove winner after each spin. The selected line is removed when you close the result or spin again. Duplicate lines remain until removed separately.

Are my edits and results saved?

These category wheels use the current page session. Refreshing or opening another template restores its starting list. Record results separately before leaving.

Can I open this template directly?

Yes. Bookmark /random-student-picker/presentation-order to return to its original choices. Each template has its own address, heading and preloaded list.

Can I still pick a random student?

Yes. Classroom Wheel retains the student picker: paste your class roster one name per line and spin. The wheel can also choose jobs, prompts and activities.
