Random Number Wheel 1 to 20
This wheel picks a random number from 1 to 20 — a range that suits class sizes, numbered raffle tickets and any list that runs to twenty items.
Twenty slices, numbered one through twenty, each with a one-in-twenty chance.
This range shows up more than you would expect because so many things come in twenties. Class registers. Numbered raffle tickets at a small fundraiser. Question banks. Lists of twenty things you have been meaning to do. When the thing you are picking from is already numbered, a number wheel is simpler than typing every item onto slices.
Teachers who number their students rather than naming them find this useful for exactly that reason — the wheel stays generic, no names are ever typed in, and the same wheel works for every class. Anyone worried about putting student names into a browser tool can sidestep the question entirely this way.
For draws with numbered tickets, turn on remove-after-spin so a ticket cannot win twice, and keep spinning down the list for runner-up prizes.
Random Number Wheel 1 to 20 — questions
Why use numbers instead of names for a class?
It avoids typing student names into a browser tool at all, which sidesteps any data question, and the same wheel then works for every class you teach. Students learn their number within a day.
Can I use it for a numbered raffle?
Yes. Turn on "Remove winner after spin" so a ticket number cannot be drawn twice, then keep spinning for second and third prizes.
Can I change the range?
Add or delete slices to fit your list, or use the random number wheel if you want to type a minimum and maximum rather than editing individual slices.
