About the Random Animal Wheel
The random animal wheel picks one of thirty animals, from pets and farm animals to wildlife on every continent. Teachers use it to give students a research topic, and artists use it for drawing prompts. Kids can use it for charades, where they act out the animal without speaking. Spin to see which one comes up.
Turn on Remove winner to give each student a different animal. After a spin, you can ask questions: where does it live, what does it eat, how long does it live? Add animals that match your lesson, such as insects or dinosaurs, or delete the ones you do not need. The list is editable.
