Random Animal Wheel

One random animal, coming up.

Or drag a screenshot or file onto this box, or paste a screenshot with Cmd+V / Ctrl+V. Names are read on your device and never uploaded.

Each picture becomes a slice, named after the file (e.g. ana.jpg → Ana). Pictures stay on this device and aren’t included in share links.

Tip: add *3 after an entry (e.g. "Pizza *3") to make it three times as likely.

About the random animal wheel

The random animal wheel picks a creature from a mix of mammals, birds, and sea life. Kids love it for charades and drawing games, and teachers use it to assign animal research projects. Add or remove animals to fit your lesson.

Ways to use it

  • Animal charades: act out whatever the wheel lands on.
  • Assign animal research projects in class.
  • Drawing prompt: sketch the animal in a silly situation.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add more animals?

Yes. Type any animal on a new line and it’s added to the wheel instantly.

How do I give each student a different animal for a research project?

Turn on "Remove winner after each spin" and let each student spin once, so no animal is picked twice. The wheel has 18 animals; for a bigger class, add more animals, one per line, before you start.
