Ideas for the country wheel
Teachers use it to assign countries for projects and presentations. Families use it for "around the world" dinner nights, cooking a dish from whichever country comes up. Travellers use it to pick a dream destination, and quiz hosts use it for capital city and flag rounds.
Combine it with the random team generator to give each team a country to research.
Frequently asked questions
Does the wheel include every country?
The default list includes a selection of countries from every continent so the labels stay readable. You can paste in a full list of countries; the wheel supports up to 1,000 entries.
Can I make a wheel for just one continent?
Yes. Replace the entries with the countries of the continent or region you want.
Is the result really random?
Yes. The winner is chosen with your browser's built-in cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues) before the wheel starts turning. Every entry has exactly the same chance, and the spin animation simply shows that result.
How do I assign a different country to each student?
Spin once for each student and click "Remove winner" after each spin so no country is given out twice.
