About this wheel

Spin the wheel to pick one of the 50 US states at random. The list is grouped by the four regions the US Census Bureau uses, Northeast, Midwest, South and West, and was last checked against census.gov on 28 October 2026. Each state has one equal slice, so every spin gives all 50 the same chance.

Use it as a random state generator for a social studies report, a geography quiz round, or a family road trip game where each person spins for a state to visit. To practise one region, delete the lines of the other three regions; the wheel redraws as you type. For a class project, choose Remove winner so each student gets a different state, and press Fullscreen to show the wheel on a projector.

Questions

Is this list up to date?

Yes. It lists the 50 states, grouped by the four US Census Bureau regions, and was checked against census.gov on 28 October 2026. Washington, DC and the territories are not on the wheel.

How do I give each student a different state?

Choose Remove winner under the list. Each state you land on leaves the wheel, so 50 spins hand out all 50 states once. A class of 25 students gets 25 different states.

Which states are in each region?

The page lists them: Northeast has 9 states, Midwest has 12, South has 16 and West has 13. The groups below the wheel show every state under its region.

Can I spin only the states of one region?

Yes. Delete the lines for the other three regions from the list in the box. The wheel updates as you type, and a Share link keeps the shorter list.
