Spin to pick a name, a review question, or who goes next.
What is Random Picker?
Random Picker is a free online name picker and spinner wheel for classrooms. Type a list of student names, numbers, or review questions, give the wheel a spin, and it lands on one at random — a fair way to decide who answers next without always calling on the same hands. Turn on Remove after pick and each name drops out once chosen, so the wheel works through the whole class with no repeats.
In the classroom
Paste your class list or load numbers 1–30, then spin to choose who reads, answers, or goes first. Because every choice is random, students stay ready instead of hiding. Leave Remove after pick on to cycle through everyone exactly once, or off to keep the full list in play for quick-fire review.
