Classroom Name Picker
All timer tools
Countdown and Stopwatch run right here. Interval and Pomodoro need extra fields (work/rest, rounds, breaks) so they open our full timer page in a new tab, already filled in with clear labels and presets.
About the Classroom Name Picker
Paste your class roster and spin to fairly pick a student — great for cold-calling, speaking order or picking helpers.
How to use it
Edit the entries above to fit your needs, then tap the wheel (or the Spin button) to get a random result. Want more control — colors, sounds, multiple wheels, weighted entries? Open the full SpinWheeli app →
Why use SpinWheeli?
SpinWheeli keeps random selection fast, free and fair. Every spin uses your browser's secure random number generator, and the tool works without an account.
FAQ
Can I remove a student after they're picked?
Yes — turn on "Remove winner after spin" so each student is picked once until you reset the list.
Can I make groups instead of picking one student?
Yes, try the Team Generator tool to split your class into groups.
Does this save my class list?
Yes, your list is saved in your browser automatically, so it's there next time you open SpinWheeli.
Ways to use the Classroom Picker
- Cold-call students fairly so quieter learners are included.
- Assign presentation order, reading turns or lab partners.
- Run quick review games where the wheel picks the next question or topic.
Tips for best results
- Use first names or initials only if you project the wheel to the class.
- Use the remove-winner option so every student gets a turn before anyone repeats.
Good to know
Is student data stored anywhere?
No. The names you type stay in your browser. SpinWheeli does not upload class lists to a server.
