Dinosaur Wheel

Roar! Spin for a random dinosaur — for a report, a drawing, a game of guess-the-dino or bedtime stories.

Tip: Ctrl + Enter (⌘ + Enter on Mac) runs it, from the list or from the page.

How it works

  1. Keep all 24 dinosaurs or choose the Predators or Plant-eaters preset.
  2. Spin and read the name aloud — pronunciation is half the fun.
  3. Draw it, act it out or look up one fact about it.

What people use it for

  • School report

    Let the wheel assign each child a different dinosaur to research.

  • Drawing time

    Spin once and draw the dinosaur that lands, then compare it to a book.

  • Birthday party

    Each guest spins and becomes that dinosaur for a stomping game.

Questions

Are all of these true dinosaurs?
They are all non-avian dinosaurs. Flying reptiles such as pterosaurs and sea reptiles such as plesiosaurs are not dinosaurs and are not listed.
Can I add more?
Yes. Edit the list, one name per line; your changes stay on this device.
