Spin the wheel and read out the question it lands on. The 40 questions sit in four groups of ten: Gratitude, Family table, Classroom circle and Just for fun. Each one is short, so it works as a go-around question where every person answers in turn.
At the family table, pass the phone or tablet around and let the youngest guest spin first. Grandparents, cousins and friends all get the same chance to answer. Before the meal, a host can pick only the Family table group and keep the talk on stories and traditions. In a classroom, the Classroom circle group suits a morning meeting, and the Gratitude group turns into a quick journal entry.
Leave the wheel on Everyone once and no question repeats until every one has been asked. Put the screen on a TV with Fullscreen, or add your own questions to the list box, one per line, such as a joke only your family knows.

Questions
How do I use this wheel at the dinner table?
Open it on a phone, tablet or TV and pass the device around. Each person spins once and answers the question out loud. Keep the answers short so the food stays warm.
Can I use it with a class before the break?
Yes. The Classroom circle and Gratitude questions suit a morning meeting. Choose a group button above the wheel, press Fullscreen so the room can read the slice, and let each student answer in a sentence or two.
Do the questions repeat?
Not while the wheel is on Everyone once. All 40 questions come up one time before the cycle starts again. Choose Allow repeats under the list if you want the same question to be possible twice.
Can I add questions about my own family?
Yes. Type each new question on its own line in the list box and the wheel updates as you type. Press Save a copy to keep your list in this browser for next year.
