Animal wheel

50 animals

About this wheel

Spin the wheel to pick a random animal from a list of 50. It covers mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, sea life, and insects and bugs, and each animal has one equal slice.

Use it as a random animal generator for drawing games, animal reports in class, show and tell, guessing games where one player acts out the animal, or story prompts about a character who is a penguin or a dragonfly. Teachers can hand each student an animal to research, and families can pick an animal to look for at the zoo.

To focus on one kind of animal, delete the other lines in the list box; the wheel redraws as you type. Choose Remove winner to give every animal out once with no repeats. Add your own lines, such as animals from your local park, and use Save to My Wheels to keep your edited copy in this browser.

Questions

Can I spin only birds or only sea animals?

Yes. The list on this page is split into five groups. Delete the lines from the other groups, for example the 14 mammals, and the wheel shows only what is left.

How do I give each student a different animal?

Choose Remove winner or Everyone once under the list. Each animal comes up one time, so a class of 25 gets 25 different animals.

Can I play an animal guessing game with it?

Yes. Turn on Mystery Mode in Settings to hide the names on the wheel, spin, and let one player act out the result while the others guess.

Can I add animals to the wheel?

Yes. Type new animals into the list box, one per line. Save to My Wheels keeps your version in this browser.
